How To Use Recursion In Python

In this video I go over how to use recursion in the Python Programming Language. Recursion allows us to call functions within themselves. This is useful when searching through file trees.

Thanks for a great video. I keep all my code on an external drive. The file is 5 folders down from the root dir. but when I rune the code the print(fd) I get H://Python Code. The file is in H://Python Code/Test File 1/Test File 2/Test file 3/Test File 4/ Recursion In Python.py In the loop it does not get True from if (fd == ""): To then run print("recursion stopped") and then return. Here is my code.
import os
def rec(fd):
if (fd == ""):
print("recursion stopped")
return
else:
print(fd)
FormatDirectory = fd.rsplit("/", 1)
print(os.listdir(fd))
rec(FormatDirectory[0])
if __name__ == "__main__":
fullDirectory = os.getcwd()
rec(fullDirectory)

I think you're using Windows, the file structure is a little different. Without seeing the error, I believe all you need to do is change the if statement from if (fd == "") to if (fd == "H:/"). I hope this helps!

I really appreciated that you maximised the size of the text in your presentation. Zooming in makes it so much easier to follow along with.
