The mechanism is simply called recursion. Or tail recursion specifically.

  • hacksoiOP 2 years ago

    Tail recursion is completely irrelevant to this algorithm.

      then enlighten me how different is it from tail recursion?

      • hacksoiOP 2 years ago

        Tail recursion is when the recursive call is last in a function; this algorithm uses breadth-first search to simultaneously 1. search the space of inputs and outputs 2. find the smallest set out of outputs to reach a reward. Again, tail recursion is completely irrelevant.

nah. You are using ChatGPT wrong.

    Seeing how you think "tail recursion " is relevant when it isn't, it's more likely that you don't actually understand the algorithm.
