What is recursion in the context of R functions?
- The process of a function calling itself
- The process of a function calling another function
- The process of a function calling a built-in R function
- The process of a function returning multiple values
Recursion in the context of R functions refers to the process of a function calling itself within its own definition. This allows the function to solve a problem by breaking it down into smaller sub-problems of the same type. Recursion involves the concept of a base case and a recursive case, where the function keeps calling itself until the base case is reached.
