Recursive function in logic and mathematics a type of function or expression predicating some concept or property of one or more variables which is specified by a procedure that yields values or instances of that function by repeatedly applying a given relation or routine operation to known values of the function. In this case the recursive definition gives the rate of change a little more directly than the standard formula. In a recursive formula each term is defined as a function of its preceding terms.
The formula is commonly used in mathematical logic and computer science to define an object with regards to its own properties.
Let us look at a recursive function example for geometric series. For example Count1 would return 2345678910. The recursive formula is a formula used to determine the subsequent term of a mathematical sequence using one or multiple of the preceding terms. A recursive definition of a function defines values of the function for some inputs in terms of the values of the same function for other usually smaller inputs.
