computer science concept in 256

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

Explainer

Recursion is a function calling itself to solve smaller instances of the same problem, ideal for tasks like navigating tree structures. It simplifies code but risks stack overflow if not carefully managed with base cases to prevent infinite loops.

Additional Context

Recursion can lead to infinite loops and stack overflow errors. Proper management of these base cases is crucial to ensure the function terminates correctly and efficiently.
