What is Recursion?

• multiple times to solve a problem.

• A method for sorting data.

• A type of data structure.

• A programming paradigm.

What is Linear Recursion?

• The function calls itself once each time it's invoked.

• The function calls itself multiple times.

• The function calls itself twice during execution.

• The function does not call itself.

What is a Linked List?

• A data structure used to store
