== Implement a Recursive Solution == Backtracking is typically implemented using recursion. The recursive function should include the following components: - '''Base case:''' Identify the conditions under which a valid solution has been found or the search must be terminated. Return an appropriate value or result. - '''Recursive case:''' Iterate over the decision space, making a choice, and then calling the recursive function with updated parameters. If a valid solution is found, return it or store it as needed. - '''Backtrack:''' If the current choice does not lead to a valid solution, undo the choice (i.e., restore the previous state) and continue with the next option in the decision space.
