Thread: finding the largest ascending subsequence..

Yes, but it's not "how to solve this problem" that is the question here, but how to solve it recursively.

I'm not sure if transgalactic have a teacher that still wishes that he (she) was using lisp or some other purely functional language where recursion is the natural method of solving ALL repetitions, but I personally think it's a bad idea to try to solve all problems [as one function, at least] via recursion.

Like Salem says, it's like "Can you tie your shoelaces with one hand" - it has little practical use in real life [except for those relatively few people who for some reason can't use both hands for daily tasks, e.g. from birth defects, accidents, etc].
