recursion

Recursion is when something repeats. It does it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Recursion

In programming, the calling of a function within the function itself.

Here’s an example of a function that utilizes recursion:

def multiply(a, b):

#takes two integers and multiplies them

if b == 0:

return 0

else:

return a + multiply(a, b-1)

This problem is a perfect example of a recursive formula.

recursion

Actually, recursion also includes a situation where B follows A and A follows B right back. Also, recursion doesn't have to be infinite. So there you go, that's your geek lesson for today.

A vicious circle uses recursion. Recursion exemplifies a vicious circle.

Recursion is not in common usage as far as I know. The whole entry is a joke (duh...)
