In Java language, Recursion is a programming technique that the method calls itself is called Recursion, which means that if a program allows the programmer to call a method within in the same function, it’s called Recursion call of the method.

Java recursion

Syntax:-

returntype recursion() { recursion(); /* method calls itself */ } 

Example:-

public class Recursion
{     
	static int Factorial(int n){      
          if (n == 1)      
            return 1;      
          else      
            return(n * Factorial(n-1));      
    } 
	public static void main(String[] args) 
    {  
		System.out.println("Factorial of 6 is: "+Factorial(6));  
	}  
} 

notepad

The programmer has to define exit condition from the Method, if not it will go into an infinite loop.
