Recursive function may refer to:
- A recursive function: a procedure or subroutine, implemented in a programming language, whose implementation references itself
- A μ-recursive function, defined from a particular formal model of computable functions using primitive recursion and the μ operator
- A function computable by a Turing machine, as a synonym for computable function
- A function using some other form of recursion
Recursion in computer science is a way of thinking about and solving problems Computable functions are the basic objects of study in computability theory. Recursion, in Mathematics and Computer science, is a method of defining functions in which the function being defined is applied within its own definitionDictionary
recursive function
-noun
- (mathematics) Any function whose value may be obtained using a finite number of operations using a precisely specified algorithm
- (computing) Any function that uses recursion and can call itself until a certain condition is met
