C++ Developer - Recursion

The video tutorial covers the basics of functions and recursion in programming. It explains function prototypes, definitions, and the difference between parameters and arguments. The tutorial introduces recursion, highlighting its use in breaking down complex problems. Through examples like the countdown project and sum values function, it demonstrates how recursive functions work, emphasizing the importance of base and recursive cases. A challenge is presented to create a recursive factorial function, illustrating the concept further.

In the context of recursion, what does it mean for a function to call itself?

What is the role of parameters in recursive functions?
