Java Recursion

Java Recursion

In Java, recursion is a process where a method will call itself continuously and the method is called the recursive method. Sometimes the code will become complex to understand.

Example- 

public class Simple {  

static void recur(){  

System.out.println("Recursion");  

recur();  

}  

  

public static void main(String[] args) {  

recur();  

}  

}

Output-

Java Recursion

Example: finite times 

public class Simple {  
static int count=0;
static void recur(){  

count++;  

if(count<=5){  
System.out.println("Recursion");  
recur();  
}  
}
  

public static void main(String[] args) {  
recur();  
}  
}

Output-

Example: factorial number 

public class Simple {  
static int recur(int n){  
 if (n == 1)      
            return 1;      
          else      
            return(n * recur(n-1));      
    }      

  
public static void main(String[] args) {  
System.out.println("Factorial: "+recur(5));  
}  
}

Output-
