Recursion is a method of solving computational problems where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. It is used in many computer programming languages and is a central idea of computer science. Recursive functions can be used to solve infinite sets of objects with a finite statement, and are as powerful as imperative languages. However, they can cause the call stack to become large and inefficient.
