Recursion in ActionScript
Our example demonstrates recursive functions in ActionScript. Here’s a classic example of calculating factorials recursively.
This ActionScript code defines a class Recursion
that extends Sprite
. In the constructor, we create a TextField
to display our output.
We define a recursive fact
function to calculate factorials. This function calls itself until it reaches the base case of fact(0)
.
We then demonstrate the use of a recursive closure with the Fibonacci sequence. In ActionScript, closures can be recursive without any special declaration.
To run this code, you would typically compile it into a SWF file and run it in a Flash Player or AIR runtime environment. The output would be:
This example showcases how ActionScript supports recursive functions and closures, providing a powerful tool for solving problems that have a naturally recursive structure.
