Subject: Re: [xsl] What's your visual metaphor for XSL Transformations? From: "Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:26:05 +0530 |
Sorry I am joining a bit late into this thread. Lot of good things have already been said about recursion.
I think recursion is implemented (by compiler / interpreter / or, XSLT processor) using some kind of stack. 1) Each time a method is called, the method is pushed on the stack. 2) Each time the method returns, the method is popped off the stack. 3) If a method calls itself recursively, another copy of the method is pushed onto the stack.
Nice post.
It would be interesting to know how a recursive template could be visualized.
A few days ago I posted a request on this list to create an HTML menu in the form of ul , li tags recursively. I found it tough to visualize the answer that was posted.
I used to write a lot of recursive functions in C , but have now forgotten all about recursion since I didn't use it since school.
I plan to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion carefully to remember it again, I think it is useful to know especially in XSLT.
