Recursion is a process in which a function calls itself as a subroutine. This ...
This is when a function refers to or calls on itself.
(IEEE) (1) The process of defining or generating a process or data structure in terms of itself. (2) A process in which a software module calls itself.
A control structure in Lisp in which a function calls itself.
A programming technique whereby a function or method calls itself one or more times.
Any situation in which procedure calls are circular; for example, when a procedure calls itself, when a procedure calls the procedure that called it, or when a procedure calls farther back up the call chain.
a type of message used in sequence diagrams to indicate a recursive function
Recursion refers to SGML elements that may contain one or more instances of themselves. See also Nesting.
A programming technique in which a function may call itself. Recursive programming is especially well-suited to parsing nested markup structures.
The act of a method repeatedly calling itself.
The ability of a program to call itself which also enables a program to define itself in terms of itself. This is frequently used to control the programs execution.
When a program calls itself putting the processor in an infinite loop.
When a function calls itself, either directly or indirectly. If this isn't clear, refer to the entry for `` recursion.''
A process, function, or routine that executes continuously until a specified condition is met.
Self-reference, particularly in the form of a procedure containing, within its body, a call to iteslf. A recursive phrase-structure rule is one in which the symbol on the left-hand side of the arrow also appears on the right-hand side -- for example, NP [IMAGE ] NP Prep NP, which says that a noun-phrase can be made up of two embedded noun-phrases joined by a preposition.
in Prolog terms a procedure which calls itself as a sub-goal.
An act of a function calling itself.
The property of a function looking back at itself for something. "GNU", for instance, stands for "GNU's Not UNIX", thus recursing upon itself for definition. For further clarity, see Infinite Loop. SGML SGML stands for "Standard Generalized Markup Language". Created in the 1980's to provide an extensible means to maintain documentation based upon content instead of presentation, SGML has withstood the test of time as a robust, powerful language. XML is the "baby brother" of SGML; any valid XML document it, by definition, a valid SGML document. The document you are reading is written and maintained in SGML, and is also valid XML if you modify the Document Type Definition.
The process of a procedure calling itself.
A programming technique in which a procedure calls itself.
Recursion is the process by which a program or routine calls itself.
Recursion in computer programming defines a function in terms of itself. One example application of recursion is in recursive descent parsers for programming languages. The great advantage of recursion is that an infinite set of possible sentences, designs, or other data can be defined, parsed, or produced by a finite computer program.
