Talk:Fibonacci sequence: Difference between revisions

Line 211:
I also notice that other examples which have ended up in the 'Iteration' section might risk compounding a reader's confusion – they are either implemented by direct and immediate recursion on helper functions like '''go''' and '''next''', or are expressed in terms of '''zipWith''', '''scanl''' etc, which are also implemented as recursive functions.
 
Perhaps 'iteration' is not quite the clearest or best -fitting term to use here ?

FWIW, I would argue that if we need to subdivide, then the main distinction here is '''memoising vs not memoising'''. If we feel a need to subdivide further, and perhaps capture something like the category now labelled "Iterative", thethen perhaps what we really mean here is closer to ''direct and indirect recursion'' ?
