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.
That picture is having a smaller version of itself and a smaller and a smaller all the way down forever. It's recursion!

Recursion
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)
def multiply(a, b):
#takes two integers and multiplies them
if b == 0:
return 0
else:
return a + multiply(a, b-1)

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.
