Answer 2

There are many codes which call functions inside itself... But you have to set a limit (return) so that it doesn't repeat infinite times.
Yes... When that happens I also have to reboot my PC.

Something like this is where calling a function inside itself works...
But to stop it from calling infinite times... I have used an if statement when input reaches 0.

Answer 3

Idequel Bernabel Álvarez whenever a function calls itself then the phenomenon is known as recursion. But to avoid infinite recursion you have to create a base case(condition where recursion have to stop)

Answer 4

This is called recursion.
