1. Solve each of the questions from this [Code Quiz](https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/5422/js-interview-prep-recursion) on Recursion. It is not important to have recursive algorithms committed to memory at this point; just understand how to create and use them.
1. Go to [the recursion directory of The Odin Project's JavaScript exercises repo](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises/tree/main/foundations). Complete each of the exercises in order. Be sure to review the README for each exercise prior to completing it.

javascript/computer_science/recursive_methods.md:41 TOP012/note-box-headings Note boxes have appropriate headings [Note box is missing a heading. Note boxes must start with a level 4 heading (####).] https://github.com/TheOdinProject/curriculum/blob/main/markdownlint/docs/TOP012.md

#### Incomplete solution for question 6

The solution for "Question 6: Search JS object" is incomplete. See [a more accurate solution for `contains()`](https://gist.github.com/JoshDevHub/b00125f483d4a1ecc257eaa030916973) after you solve it.
If you remember, you forked, cloned, and set everything up to run the tests in these exercises all the way back in the [Data Types and Conditionals lesson of Foundations](https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-data-types-and-conditionals). You've come a long way! If for whatever reason, you don't have this repo setup, you can review the [setup instructions located in the top-level README of the exercises repo](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/javascript-exercises#how-to-use-these-exercises).

1. If you haven't already, fork and clone the [ruby-exercises repo](https://github.com/TheOdinProject/ruby-exercises/) (you likely already did this while doing the `/ruby_basics/` exercises earlier in the Ruby course). `cd` into the `/recursion` directory and follow the instructions in the README there. Complete each of the recursion exercises in order, and pass the tests.
