 In general recursion is a situation in which a [definition](definition.md) refers to itself; for example the definition of a human's ancestor as "the human's parents and the ancestors of his parents" ([fractals](fractal.md) are also very nice example of what a simple recursive definition can achieve). In programming recursion takes on a meaning of a **function that calls itself**; this is the meaning we'll suppose in this article, unless noted otherwise.
 
-We divide recursion to a **direct** and **indirect** one. In direct recursion the function calls itself directly, in indirect  function *A* calls a function `B` which ends up (even possibly by calling some more functions) calling *A* again. Indirect recursion is tricky because it may appear by mistake and cause a [bug](bug.md) (which is nevertheless easily noticed as the program will mostly run out of memory and crash).

 When a function calls itself, it starts "diving" deeper and deeper and in most situations we want this to stop at some point, so in most cases **a recursion has to contain a terminating condition**. Without this condition the recursion will keep recurring and end up in an equivalent of an infinite loop (which in case of recursion will however crash the program with a [stack overflow](stack_overflow.md) exception). Let's see this on perhaps the most typical example of using recursion, a [factorial](factorial.md) function:
