You can look as long as you like. What makes you feel that recursion is
"unconventional"? It's a perfectly valid technique for dealing with
recursive data structures, and in fact the most natural way to handle them.
Or is this purely an intellectual exercise? I just don't see what you hope
to gain by avoiding recursion.
