A recursive routine is one that calls itself, and this topic explains how that works without running forever. You will study the base case and the general case, and why every recursive definition needs both. The topic covers what happens in memory when a recursive call is made, including how the stack grows and unwinds. Recursive and iterative solutions to the same problem are compared, along with the advantages and drawbacks of each.
