I remember spending 8 hours writing a difficult recursive program in LISP back in college as part of an AI class. In the end it only took 8 lines to solve the problem, so it no doubt counts as the lowest lines/hour of any program I ever wrote. I remember all of this, but I no longer can recall what the program did :-)
Now that you mention it I believe I did a recursive thing in my AI class as well.
I also can't remember what it did, lol.
Although now that I think about it I remember I made a
I'm betting it was the ant colony that had weird recursion stuff.
What a coincidence! The practical part of the AI course I took at the university was also focused on LISP. :)
I remember doing something recursively too, but I have no idea what it was or how many lines of code it had, lol. I remember liking LISP at the time. It was completely different from all other programming languages I had learned before. Too many parentheses though. :)
