    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.
