A recursive function is a function that calls itself in order to solve a problem. This approach allows the function to break down complex problems into simpler, more manageable sub-problems. Recursive functions usually have two main components: 1. **Base Case**: This is a condition under which the function will stop calling itself, preventing infinite recursion and ultimately leading to a result.
