-  1. Read this [intro to recursion](https://javascript.info/recursion). You do *not* need to complete the exercises at the end of the article.
-  1. Watch this [explanation of recursion by Web Dev Simplified](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oDQaB2one8) and this additional [example of recursion by DevSage](https://youtu.be/LteNqj4DFD8?t=340).
-  1. Watch this [Video on Recursion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz6tAJMVmfM) from CS50.
-  1. Read the ["Implementation Issues" section of the wiki article](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_conquer_algorithm#Implementation_issues) to get an overview of some of the limitations of recursion.

-  1. Go to [the `computer_science/recursion/` directory of The Odin Project's JavaScript exercises repo](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises/tree/main/computer_science/recursion) and complete each of the exercises in order. Be sure to review the README for each exercise prior to completing it. If you need to, revisit the repo's README for general instructions on forking, cloning, and using the exercises.

+   #### Use a debugger!
+
+   It can be rather difficult trying to track what's going on in a recursive function layer by layer, don't put yourself through that! If you haven't already been making use of a debugger when solving some problems (you'll have been missing out on a lot if not!), now is as good a time as any to get familiar with it as it can help make navigating the code flow so much easier.

 1. If you haven't already, fork and clone the [ruby-exercises repo](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/ruby-exercises/) (you likely already did this while doing the `/ruby_basics/` exercises earlier in the Ruby course). `cd` into the `/recursion` directory and follow the instructions in the README there. Complete each of the recursion exercises in order, and pass the tests.
