Recursion is a programming technique in which a function calls itself in the process of solving the problem. Recursion is good for problem-solving techniques that involve a large number of repetitive tasks, and always consist of a base case and a recursive case. For example, the factorial function in mathematics, <math>n!</math>, is defined as the product of all integers smaller than n:

<math>
n! = n \times (n-1) \times (n-2) \times \dots \times 3 \times 2 \times 1
</math>

So 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6, and 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.
