Understanding Recursion in Java

Recursion in Java is a process where a method continuously calls itself, known as a recursive method. A recursive method follows the syntax of defining a return type and method name, containing code to execute and a call to the same method name. While recursion makes code more compact, it is complex to understand due to the continuous self-calling of the method.
