Recursion

Recursion is a method in mathematics and computer science where a function, procedure, or definition refers to itself within its own formulation. This approach allows complex problems to be solved by breaking them down into simpler, more manageable sub-problems. Commonly used in algorithms, such as sorting and searching, recursion often requires a base case to prevent infinite loops. It is a fundamental concept in programming languages, enabling clear and concise solutions for problems involving repetition or hierarchical structures.
