Drawing upon itself
A program or routine that re-executes itself or repeats an action over and over For example, the find (17 1) program moves through a directory tree recursively, doing something in each directory
taking a step backward to reconnoiter and confirm or reset research direction A formative approach to solving an information problem When used consistently, creates a spiral effect
The process of repeating an operation or group of operations, usually with the result of each repetition being in some way dependent upon the result of the preceding repetition, e g , planning itself and ecological succession within a rotation
Referring back to itself See recursive
(adj ) Characteristic of a computer program that calls itself
Characteristic of an action capable of being indefinitely reapplied to the results of its own application
When relating to a directory structure, it traverses through the subdirectories until it cannot go any farther Computer programmers, however, use this when writing source code to describe a program that continuously calls itself until some condition is met
