Recursion in C
Explore recursive functions, understand their use cases, and analyze recursion vs. iteration.

Recursion in C
Recursion is a technique where a function calls itself to solve a problem.
In this lesson, you will learn:
- What recursion is and how it works.
- How to implement recursive functions.
- The difference between recursion and iteration.

What is Recursion?
Recursion is when a function calls itself to solve a smaller part of a problem.
Example syntax:
void function() {
function(); // Recursive call
}
Every recursive function must have a base case to prevent infinite recursion.
