Introduction to Recursion in C

Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a smaller part of the
[Link] is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a smaller part
of the [Link] is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a smaller
part of the [Link] is a programming technique where a function calls itself to solve a
smaller part of the [Link] is a programming technique where a function calls itself to
solve a smaller part of the [Link] is a programming technique where a function calls
itself to solve a smaller part of the problem.
How Recursion Works

In recursion, a function keeps calling itself until a base condition is met. The base condition stops
further recursive [Link] recursion, a function keeps calling itself until a base condition is met. The
base condition stops further recursive [Link] recursion, a function keeps calling itself until a base
condition is met. The base condition stops further recursive [Link] recursion, a function keeps
calling itself until a base condition is met. The base condition stops further recursive [Link]
recursion, a function keeps calling itself until a base condition is met. The base condition stops
further recursive [Link] recursion, a function keeps calling itself until a base condition is met. The
base condition stops further recursive calls.
Structure of Recursive Function

A recursive function must have a base case and a recursive case. Without a base case, the
function will result in infinite recursion.A recursive function must have a base case and a recursive

Example: Factorial Program

Factorial of a number n is calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = [Link]

of a number n is calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = [Link] of a
number n is calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = [Link] of a number n
is calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = [Link] of a number n is
calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = [Link] of a number n is
calculated as n * factorial(n-1). The base case is factorial(0) = 1.
Example: Fibonacci Series

Fibonacci sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous
[Link] sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous
[Link] sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous
[Link] sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous
[Link] sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous
[Link] sequence uses recursion where each term is the sum of the two previous terms.
Types of Recursion

There are two main types: direct recursion and indirect recursion. Direct recursion occurs when a
function calls itself [Link] are two main types: direct recursion and indirect recursion. Direct
recursion occurs when a function calls itself [Link] are two main types: direct recursion and
indirect recursion. Direct recursion occurs when a function calls itself [Link] are two main
types: direct recursion and indirect recursion. Direct recursion occurs when a function calls itself
[Link] are two main types: direct recursion and indirect recursion. Direct recursion occurs
when a function calls itself [Link] are two main types: direct recursion and indirect
recursion. Direct recursion occurs when a function calls itself directly.
Advantages of Recursion

Recursion makes code simpler and more readable for problems like tree traversal and
divide-and-conquer [Link] makes code simpler and more readable for problems like
tree traversal and divide-and-conquer [Link] makes code simpler and more
readable for problems like tree traversal and divide-and-conquer [Link] makes code

[Link] makes code simpler and more readable for problems like tree traversal and
divide-and-conquer [Link] makes code simpler and more readable for problems like
tree traversal and divide-and-conquer algorithms.
Disadvantages of Recursion

Recursive functions use more memory due to function call stack. They may also be slower
compared to iterative [Link] functions use more memory due to function call stack.

iterative [Link] functions use more memory due to function call stack. They may also
be slower compared to iterative [Link] functions use more memory due to function call

Recursion vs Iteration

Recursion uses function calls while iteration uses loops. Both can solve similar problems but differ
in memory usage and [Link] uses function calls while iteration uses loops. Both can
solve similar problems but differ in memory usage and [Link] uses function calls
while iteration uses loops. Both can solve similar problems but differ in memory usage and
[Link] uses function calls while iteration uses loops. Both can solve similar problems
but differ in memory usage and [Link] uses function calls while iteration uses loops.
Both can solve similar problems but differ in memory usage and [Link] uses function
calls while iteration uses loops. Both can solve similar problems but differ in memory usage and
