Recursion

What do we mean by recursion?

A method of defining a sequence of objects, such as an expression, function, or set, where some number of initial objects are given and each successive object is defined in terms of the preceding objects. The Fibonacci sequence is defined by recursion. noun

A set of objects so defined. noun

A rule describing the relation between an object in a recursive sequence in terms of the preceding objects. noun

The property of languages in which a structure, such as a phrase or clause, may form a part of a larger structure of the same kind, allowing for a potentially infinite variety of constructions. noun

Return. noun

The act of recurring; return. noun

The act of recurring. noun

The act of defining an object (usually a function) in terms of that object itself. noun

The calling of a function from within that same function. noun

(mathematics) an expression such that each term is generated by repeating a particular mathematical operation noun

The act of recurring.

The act of defining an object (usually a function) in terms of that object itself.

The invocation of a procedure from within itself.

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. Urban Dictionary

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. Urban Dictionary
