What is a recursion in Java

Answer 1

Recursion is a method where the solution to a problem depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem (as opposed to iteration). The approach can be applied to many types of problems, and recursion is one of the central ideas of computer science.

Answer 2

Recursion is when a function calls itself. So, it can be useful for something like the Collatz Conjecture (where the function will call itself inless it's one). The Collatz Conjecture, or the 3N + 1 conjecture, is a really fun program.

Answer 3

Recursion is a process in which a function call itself unless and until a condition is satisfied...

Answer 4

when a function calls itself or any other function again and again through its code it is called as recursion.

Answer 5

function which calls itself

Answer 6

Recursion is the method by which a function calls itself
