Tail recursion is a special way of writing recursion in C/C++, which minimizes the time and memory, this can be done just by storing the value of variable in some temporary memory instead of depending on stack for it. Here’s an example:

 /* Factorial with Normal Recursion */int fact(int n){  if(n

When run with 4 as value of n fact(4)->4*Fact(3)->3*fact(2)->2*fact(1)->1 1->2*1->3*2->4*6=24

 /* Factorial with Tail Recursion */int fact(int n,int a){  if(n

When called with fact(4,1)fact(4,1)->fact(3,4)->fact(2,12)->fact(1,24)->24.
