Recursion
This article is about the concept of recursion. For the novel, see
Recursion (novel). For computer applications, see
Recursion (computer science). For other uses, see
recursive.Recursion, in
mathematics and
computer science, is a method of defining
functions in which the function being defined is applied within its own definition. The term is also used more generally to describe a process of repeating objects in a self-similar way. For instance, when the surfaces of two mirrors are almost parallel with each other the nested images that occur are a form of recursion.
