Function calls and performance
Hello there,
So I was reading about inline functions and I came up with a doubt.
If function calls tends to be slower than loops in C, what are the advantages of using recursive functions? I mean, if I have the option to choose between using a recursive function and loops, shouldn't I always prefer loops?
Also, what is your criteria when deciding to split a function? Is it just a question of keeping different things in different functions or are there some "rules"? Or is it just "this function is too big, let me split it"?
I really appreciate any advice.
