Recursion

Recursion is when a function calls itself, typically to break a problem into smaller versions of the same problem until it reaches a simple base case. A classic example is calculating a factorial by having the function call itself with a smaller number each time. Recursive functions need a clear stopping condition, or they will call themselves indefinitely and crash.
