Look inside
The Tower of Hanoi is one of the most famous (and fun!) mathematical puzzles you can tackle. In this liveProject, you’ll set out to solve this tricky challenge using recursive functions in the Rust programming language. Kickstart your journey with factorials, then calculate Fibonacci numbers and solve the Knight’s Tour and N-Queens problems. Then, you’ll be ready to take on the Tower of Hanoi—and transfer your new recursion skills to multiple other problems.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
