[Tutor] A recursion question

[Asokan Pichai]

Another way to do that is to avoid any intermediate variables altogether
That may be easier to understand YMMV

def counter(mylist, val):
     if len(mylist == 0):
            return 0
     if mylist[0] == val:
           return  1 + counter(mylist[1:], val)
     else:
           return counter(mylist[1:])
