How does recursion work?
19Recursion and Recursive Functions in C++. Recursive function is a function that calls itself. Every recursive function needs a base case to determine when the recursion should end. With every recursive call we add to the call stack, we pass in a new parameter that reaches towards the base case. This is called the recursive step. Without a base case, there would be a stack overflow. In this video, we will go over how recursion works on in memory.
