Definitions:

Recursive Solution

A recursive solution involves solving a problem by breaking it into smaller instances of the same problem, typically involving a function calling itself.

Iterative Solution

A method of solving a problem by repeatedly using a set of operations until a certain condition is met.

Limiting Condition

A condition or set of conditions that define the boundaries or constraints within which a process or function operates.

Base Case

In recursion, the base case is a condition that stops the recursion by not making a call to itself, thus avoiding an infinite loop.
