“recursion - (1) invoking a function that is called (directly or indirectly) from that same function— e.g., int f(int n) { return n > 0 ? n * f(n-1) : 1; } — or (2) defining an entity in terms of itself, e.g., a type list (see Section 2.1.“Variadic Templates” on page 873). Variadic Templates (875)” (EMCppSfe 2021)“ (EMCppSfe 2021)

In computer science, Recursion (computer science) | recursion is a method where the solution to a problem depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Recursion
Recursion occurs when the definition of a concept or process depends on a simpler or previous version of itself. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, where a function being defined is applied within its own definition. While this apparently defines an infinite number of instances (function values), it is often done in such a way that no infinite loop or infinite chain of references can occur.
A process that exhibits recursion is recursive. Video feedback displays recursive images, as does an infinity mirror.
