| • Recursion is a special type of repetition control. • A recursive method is a method that calls itself. • A recursive method consists of a test to stop the recursion, the end case that gets executed at the end of recursion, and the recursive case that makes a recursive call to continue the recursion. • The use of recursion should be avoided if a suitable nonrecursive looping statement can be developed. |
