A function which calls itself is called a recursive function. For example: int factorial(int n) { if (n == 1) return 1; else return n * factorial(n - 1); // recursion }

I think a function is recursive when it calls itself. I can't give you a good example as I rarely use java but you can look for other discussions (or codes) regarding this topic. Just search for recursion :p
