Explain in your own words what recursion means (in connection with definitions of ideas and as a programming technique.)

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Any definition that refers to things already defined in the definition is called
recursive. A function that contains a call to the function being defined is said to be
recursive. Some recursive definitions are circular, but proper ones have a stopping
case or have stopping cases.

M. Ahacker was assigned the task of rewriting the for statement on the left by an equivalent construction using a do-while statement. Ahacker's solution is shown at the right and fails to behave like the for statement under certain conditions. Rewrite Ahacker's solution to make it exactly equivalent

``` for (count = a; count <= b; count++) count = a; { do // computations ... { } // computations ... count++; } while (count <= b); ```
