Recursion

  • Calling a function within itself is called recursion.
  • It is very important to be careful while implementing recursive functions as it may lead to infinite calling and bugs.
  • It is advisable not to use recursive functions in embedded systems as it is inefficient in terms of processing and memory.
  • Why Use Recursion? It simplifies code for problems that can be broken into smaller, similar subproblems.
