Study Notes

Recursion

Recursion creates clearer and simpler versions of several algorithms.
It has many applications in:
- Mathematical functions
- Tree structure traversal
- AI-related algorithms
A recursive method has two main parts:
- Stop condition
- Recursive step
Recursion is the process of defining something in terms of itself.
Java supports recursion by allowing a method to call itself.
A recursive method is a method that calls itself.
