A recursive definition is a way of defining a concept, object, or function in terms of itself. In mathematics and computer science, recursive definitions are commonly used to define sequences, functions, data structures, and algorithms. A recursive definition typically consists of two parts: 1. **Base Case (or Base Condition):** This part provides a simple, non-recursive definition for the initial case(s). It serves as the foundation for the recursive process.
