Recursion

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

Explainer

Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself with a smaller input until it reaches a base case. It's used to solve problems that can be broken down into smaller instances of the same problem. Each recursive call adds a new stack frame, making recursion memory-intensive for large inputs.
