Explainer
Recursion: A function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem. Useful for tasks like tree traversal and factorial calculation. Efficient but can lead to stack overflow if not handled properly.
Additional Context
Recursion simplifies complex problems by breaking them down into manageable parts, making code easier to write and understand. However, it requires careful handling of base cases to prevent infinite loops.
