Recursion: If you are at home stop moving
Recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. 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 loop or infinite chain of references can occur. Recursion can also describe a person of higher standing who, upon introduction, strikes thoughts along the lines of "How did he get there?"
I need to get the sword, but there are enemies in the way! It's a fucking recursion!
Did you mean: Recursion?

In order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
In programming, the calling of a function within the function itself.
Here’s an example of a function that utilizes recursion:
def multiply(a, b):
#takes two integers and multiplies them
if b == 0:
return 0
else:
return a + multiply(a, b-1)
