Optional Material on Recursive Processing of File Trees

Processing file trees is one of the most compelling practical examples of recursive functions. We are not officially covering this topic this semester, but you can find out more about it in the lecture materials on Recursive File Trees.

Solutions (for after class)

Use these sample solutions for review only after you have completed the code exercises. You will learn much more by trying them first and comparing your approach with the solutions.

I have made a genuine effort to complete the code exercises. Show me the solutions.
