Algorithms: Recursion

Recursion is when a method calls itself
A recursive call must be made with a different value than the method itself was called with
A recursive method must contain a conditional statement that will eventually cause it to exit without calling itself again
The case that causes the method to exit without calling itself again is called a base case
Calculating factorial numbers is a common recursive algorithm
Calculating Fibonacci numbers is a common recursive algorithm
