Definitions:

Recursive Definition

A definition of something in terms of itself, typically used in programming to solve problems by having a function call itself with modified parameters.

Base Cases

Base Cases are the terminating scenarios in recursion that do not use recursion to produce an answer, avoiding infinite loops in the process.

Tail Recursive Method

A type of recursion where the recursive call is the final action performed by the function, potentially allowing for optimizations by the compiler.

Recursive Call

A programming technique where a function calls itself in order to solve a problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable sub-problems.
