Antigravity Agent e9cbf23ab5 docs(10_Wiki): Dev 폴더 누락분 반영 — Topic_Programming으로 통합
이전 재구성 작업에서 Dev/ 폴더가 누락되었던 것을 반영.

- Dev/Topic_Programming(중첩 폴더, 78개)은 Dev 자체 최상위 폴더들
  (Architecture/Conventions/Engineering_Intelligence 등)과 완전 중복이라 제거.
- Dev 최상위 엔지니어링 지식 폴더(Architecture/Conventions/Engineering_Intelligence/
  Failure_Library/Generalized_Principles/Language/Pattern_Catalog/Platform_Guides/
  Subsystems, 77개)는 이미 Topic_Programming/Topic_Programming에 더 최신 버전이
  존재해 중복 제거(고유 콘텐츠 1개는 예외 처리하여 이동 보존).
- Dev의 W3Schools 언어 튜토리얼 폴더(Topic_C/CPP/CSS/CSharp/HOWTO/HTML/Java/
  JavaScript/PHP/Python/SQL/W3CSS, 1201개)는 전부 Topic_Programming 하위로 이동.
- 에이전트 운영 상태(.astra/docs)는 그대로 유지, 콘텐츠 폴더만 정리.
- Topic_Programming 최종 문서 수: 2784 → 3985.

CPP Recursion

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

The exact same three examples (range-sum via sum(k), countdown, factorial) with the exact same step-by-step unfolding explanation reappear here verbatim from C's Recursion chapter — confirming C++'s recursion semantics, base-case requirement, and termination risks are inherited from C completely unmodified. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • Recursion — a function calling ITSELF, breaking a complex problem into smaller instances of the same problem. [S1]
  • Base case — the condition under which the function stops calling itself (k > 0 becoming false), essential for termination. [S1]
  • Unwinding accumulation — each recursive call combines its own contribution with the result of the smaller sub-call. [S1]
  • Risk of non-termination or excess resource use — without a solid base case, recursion can run forever or exhaust memory/processor time. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

  • Summing 1 to 10 via recursion: int sum(int k) { if (k > 0) { return k + sum(k - 1); } else { return 0; } } — unfolds as 10 + (9 + (8 + ... + sum(0))). [S1]
  • Countdown via recursion: void countdown(int n) { if (n > 0) { cout << n << " "; countdown(n - 1); } }. [S1]
  • Factorial via recursion: int factorial(int n) { if (n > 1) { return n * factorial(n - 1); } else { return 1; } } — factorial(5) = 120. [S1]

⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

  • 현재까지 발견된 모순 사항 없음 (No contradictions found in available sources). C 챕터와 완전히 동일한 재귀 예제와 설명이 확인됨.

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

5의 팩토리얼(5×4×3×2×1=120)을 재귀로 계산하는 예제가 원문에서 직접 실전 활용 사례로 제시됨. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

A recursive function with a clear base case that guarantees termination (C++):

int factorial(int n) {
  if (n > 1) {
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
  } else {
    return 1; // base case
  }
}
