Recursion (from Latin recursio, "running back") in general 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](programming.md) recursion denotes a **[function](function.md) that calls itself**; this is the meaning we'll assume in this article unless noted otherwise.
