Understanding Recursion: A Function’s Self-Call

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Recursion is a process where a function calls itself as a subroutine, allowing for repeated execution until a base condition is met.

Additional Context

Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem. It divides the problem into subproblems, solves each recursively, and combines results for the final solution. It's essential to have a base case to avoid infinite loops.
