It simplifies code but risks stack overflow if not carefully managed with base cases to prevent infinite loops.</p> <h2> Additional Context </h2> <p>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.</p> devchallenge cschallenge computerscience beginners
