rekursiivisuus
Rekursiivisuus is a fundamental concept in mathematics and computer science, referring to a process or function that calls itself during its execution. This self-referential nature allows for the solution of complex problems by breaking them down into simpler, more manageable sub-problems. The key components of a recursive function include a base case, which provides a straightforward answer to the smallest instance of the problem, and a recursive case, which reduces the problem to a smaller version of itself.
In mathematics, recursion is often used to define sequences and functions. For example, the factorial of a
Rekursiivisuus can be contrasted with iteration, another method for repeating a process. While iteration typically involves
