Title: Is recursion possible in scripting system Post by: t1mm3h on May 28, 2013, 02:05:01 PM A short question for which I didn't find an answer: is recursion possible in the scripting language that Bitcoin uses?

As far as I'm aware most Bitcoin Clients are written in C++. So yes recursion is possible in C++. Not sure if that will help you though. Title: Re: Is recursion possible in scripting system Post by: DannyHamilton on May 28, 2013, 02:09:40 PM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script
Quote Script is simple, stack-based, and processed from left to right. It is purposefully not Turing-complete, with no loops With no loops and no user definable functions/subroutines, I can't think of a way to create a recursive action.

Loops are not possible, if that is what you were wondering. If not, could you clarify by providing an example?https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script Title: Re: Is recursion possible in scripting system Post by: t1mm3h on May 28, 2013, 02:41:43 PM https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script Quote Script is simple, stack-based, and processed from left to right.
