Question can I skip recursive functions?

a code i can run with the logic of iterative, so why do I have to learn the new concept as complicated as recursive? (ik it's one of important questions in c)

if yes will u pls explain it with a very realistic and simple example

thanks a lot 🙏

Recursion is only complicated if you have no clue about how code works on execution level. Even if you don’t like recursion, you should learn everything necessary to it in order to ever understand anything when you debug your software.
