What is Recursion?

Recursion is when a function calls itself to solve smaller versions of the same problem. It's elegant for problems that have repeating structures.

Real-World Application

The concept of "Recursion" is used everywhere in programming. From automating repetitive tasks to making decisions based on conditions, recursion is fundamental to how software works. Understanding this concept will help you become a better programmer and solve more complex problems.
