Recursion

Recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, where a function being defined is applied within its own definition. While this apparently defines an infinite number of instances (function values), it is often done in such a way that no loop or infinite chain of references can occur. Recursion can also describe a person of higher standing who, upon introduction, strikes thoughts along the lines of "How did he get there?"

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)
