Change the permissions of a directory recursively

Since we want to assign permissions to files and directories 644 755 - as always should be done - just move to that directory and run the following commands:
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
Others do not need ...

No excuse but a chmod-R and 'too complicated?

Hello Frederick,
chmod-R does not go well, keep in mind that the directories and files go to 755 to 644, with a simple chmod-R 644, or we can put it all in all to 755, but we can not distinguish between dir and file. I hope I explained myself better now.
Hello
