General recursive function

ID: general-recursive-function

A **general recursive function** refers to a function that is defined in a way that allows it to call itself (i.e., recursion) as part of its definition. This concept is a fundamental idea in the field of computer science, particularly in the study of algorithms and computability theory. **Key aspects of general recursive functions include**: 1. **Base Case**: Like any recursive function, a general recursive function must have at least one base case that allows the function to terminate.
