Recursion interview questions

1. A.a self-call that is the very last action of a routine, with nothing left to do after it returns
2. B.a technique where a routine solves a problem by calling itself on smaller instances of the same problem
3. C.a runtime technique that reuses the current stack frame for a final self-call so deep iteration does not overflow the stack
4. D.the functional preference for self-calling definitions instead of mutable counters and explicit iteration constructs

Answer + AI explanation with Pro

1. A.Base case
2. B.Recursion
3. C.Tail call
4. D.Recursion over loops
