Recur
Recur is a term often used in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, and biology, to describe a process that repeats itself in a self-similar way. In general, to recur means to occur again periodically or repeatedly.
Mathematics[edit | edit source]
In mathematics, recursion is a method where the solution to a problem depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. The concept of recursion is particularly used in algorithms and data structures.
Computer Science[edit | edit source]
In computer science, a recursive function is a function that calls itself during its execution. This enables the function to be repeated several times, as it can call itself during its execution.
Biology[edit | edit source]
In biology, recursion is seen in the self-similar patterns of certain plants and animals. For example, the branching patterns of trees and veins, the structure of snowflakes, and the nesting behavior of certain birds are all examples of recursion in nature.
