Solution Review: Length of a String

This review provides a detailed analysis of the solution to find the length of a string recursively.

We'll cover the following...

Solution: Using Recursion

Python 3.5
def recursiveLength(testVariable) : 	
	# Base Case	
	if (testVariable == "") : 
		return 0
	# Recursive Case
	else : 
		return 1 + recursiveLength(testVariable[1:]) 
	
# Driver Code 
testVariable = "Educative"
print (recursiveLength(testVariable))

Explanation

The base case for this solution will test for an empty string "". If the string is empty we return 0 ...
