📖 1. Recursive Concept

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Recursivity: A concept frequently observed in daily life (e.g., stories within stories, dolls within dolls). In computing, it refers to either a process where a function calls itself or an object contains or is defined in terms of itself.
• Recursive Process (Function): A process that involves a function making calls to itself during its execution.
• Recursive Object: An object that contains itself or is defined based on itself, such as a structure or data that references or includes a similar object within itself.
• Examples of Recursive Phenomena: Stories within stories, films within films, nested tables, dolls within dolls, or functions that refer to themselves.
