一个系统如何接受任何递归函数并使用堆栈执行它的粗略描述:

这是为了在没有细节的情况下展示想法。考虑这个函数，它将打印出图的节点:

function show(node)
0. if isleaf(node):
1.  print node.name
2. else:
3.  show(node.left)
4.  show(node)
5.  show(node.right)

例如图表: A - B > C - > show(A)将打印B, A, C

函数调用意味着保存本地状态和延续点，以便返回，然后跳转到要调用的函数。

例如，假设show(A)开始运行。函数调用在第3行。显示(B)的意思 -将项目添加到堆栈，意思是“你需要在第2行继续使用本地变量状态node=A” —到第0行，节点为B。

为了执行代码，系统运行指令。当遇到函数调用时，系统将需要的信息推回到原来的位置，运行函数代码，当函数完成时，弹出关于需要继续执行的位置的信息。

Recursion is nothing but the process of calling of one function from the other only this process is done by calling of a function by itself. As we know when one function calls the other function the first function saves its state(its variables) and then passes the control to the called function. The called function can be called by using the same name of variables ex fun1(a) can call fun2(a). When we do recursive call nothing new happens. One function calls itself by passing the same type and similar in name variables(but obviously the values stored in variables are different,only the name remains same.)to itself. But before every call the function saves its state and this process of saving continues. The SAVING IS DONE ON A STACK.

现在堆栈开始发挥作用了。

因此，如果您编写了一个迭代程序，并每次将状态保存在堆栈上，然后在需要时从堆栈中弹出值，那么您已经成功地将递归程序转换为迭代程序!

证明是简单而分析的。

在递归中，计算机维护堆栈，而在迭代版本中，您将不得不手动维护堆栈。

仔细想想，只需将深度优先搜索(在图上)递归程序转换为dfs迭代程序。

祝你一切顺利!

努力使你的递归调用尾部递归(递归的最后一个语句是递归调用)。一旦你有了它，将它转换为迭代通常是相当容易的。

在谷歌中搜索“延续传递样式”。有一个转换为尾部递归样式的一般过程;还有一个将尾部递归函数转换为循环的通用过程。

只是消磨时间……递归函数

void foo(Node* node)
{
    if(node == NULL)
       return;
    // Do something with node...
    foo(node->left);
    foo(node->right);
}

可转换为

void foo(Node* node)
{
    if(node == NULL)
       return;

    // Do something with node...

    stack.push(node->right);
    stack.push(node->left);

    while(!stack.empty()) {
         node1 = stack.pop();
         if(node1 == NULL)
            continue;
         // Do something with node1...
         stack.push(node1->right);             
         stack.push(node1->left);
    }

}

This is an old question but I want to add a different aspect as a solution. I'm currently working on a project in which I used the flood fill algorithm using C#. Normally, I implemented this algorithm with recursion at first, but obviously, it caused a stack overflow. After that, I changed the method from recursion to iteration. Yes, It worked and I was no longer getting the stack overflow error. But this time, since I applied the flood fill method to very large structures, the program was going into an infinite loop. For this reason, it occurred to me that the function may have re-entered the places it had already visited. As a definitive solution to this, I decided to use a dictionary for visited points. If that node(x,y) has already been added to the stack structure for the first time, that node(x,y) will be saved in the dictionary as the key. Even if the same node is tried to be added again later, it won't be added to the stack structure because the node is already in the dictionary. Let's see on pseudo-code:

startNode = pos(x,y)

Stack stack = new Stack();

Dictionary visited<pos, bool> = new Dictionary();

stack.Push(startNode);

while(stack.count != 0){
    currentNode = stack.Pop();
    if "check currentNode if not available"
        continue;
    if "check if already handled"
        continue;
    else if "run if it must be wanted thing should be handled"      
        // make something with pos currentNode.X and currentNode.X  
        
        // then add its neighbor nodes to the stack to iterate
        // but at first check if it has already been visited.
        
        if(!visited.Contains(pos(x-1,y)))
            visited[pos(x-1,y)] = true;
            stack.Push(pos(x-1,y));
        if(!visited.Contains(pos(x+1,y)))
            ...
        if(!visited.Contains(pos(x,y+1)))
            ...
        if(!visited.Contains(pos(x,y-1)))
            ...
}
