Recursion in Computational Theory
In computation, recursion is essential for defining algorithms that operate on inherently nested data structures, such as trees (data structure)/) and graphs (mathematics)/). The classic example is the computation of the factorial function: $n! = n \times (n-1)!$, with the base case $0! = 1$.
