&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; could you tell me why? How would I recognize that I needed recursion there?&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt; If you have a set, that  you need to &lt;b&gt;divide&lt;/b&gt;, you you probably need recursion
&lt;p&gt; See [href://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_%28computer_science%29|Recursion (computer science)] and [href://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_conquer_algorithm|Divide and conquer algorithm]
