1. recursive

   Recursion (adjective: recursive) occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic. The most common application of recursion is in mathematics and computer science, where a function being defined is applied within its own definition. While this apparently defines an infinite number of instances (function values), it is often done in such a way that no infinite loop or infinite chain of references ("crock recursion") can occur.

1. recursive

   Recursive refers to a process or function that is defined in terms of itself, often with some initial condition. It means that something is calling or referring back to itself in its definition or calculation. This term is often used in computer programming, mathematics, and other related fields. The process may involve a series of computation steps that are repeated by self-reference until a specific condition or solution is reached.

Examples of Recursive in a Sentence

1. Edsger W. Dijkstra:

   The argument against recursive procedures was always an efficiency argument: non-re-entrant code could be executed so much more efficiently. But with the advent of multiprogramming another need for felxible storage allocation has emerged. And if there are still machines in which the use of recursive routines is punished by too heavy a penalty, then I would venture the opinion that the structure of such a machine should now be called somewhat old-fashioned.
