Lab 9: Recursive Graphics

By the end of this lab, you will be able to:

• Understand recursion even better
• Write recursive Java applets

The concept of recursion has many uses. It is used to express structures that are composed of "smaller" versions of the same structure. ("Smaller" by some measure, not necessarily a simple magnitude.) In computer science, recursion is used to express the structure of computations with this property and data organizations with this property. In this lab, we will see that recursion can be used to describe visual structures as well.
