Recursion in Java is the process in which a method calls itself again and again, and the method that calls itself is known as the recursive method. In the real-time example, it’s like when you stand between two parallel mirrors and the image formed repeatedly. The method in Java that calls itself is called a recursive method. It makes the code compact, but complex to understand.

Recursion in Java Example

In the recursive program, the solution to a base case is provided, and the solution to a bigger problem is expressed in terms of smaller problems.

See the following syntax.

return_type method_name(argument-list)
{
  //statements 
  method_name(argument-list);        /*calling the method continuously */
}

Let’s see some example of Recursion in java.
