ITPEC FE Morning October 2018 — Question 8 of 80
Recursive call — a function that invokes itself from within its own body.
A recursive call occurs when a function calls itself during its execution, typically to break a problem into smaller subproblems until a base case is reached.
Why not others:
- (b) Describes event-driven programming, not recursion.
- (c) Describes memoization or caching a function in memory for reuse.
- (d) Describes rollback or undo mechanisms (e.g., transaction rollback), not recursion.
Key rule: Recursive call = a function calling itself within its own body.
