A beginner-friendly introduction to recursion in C, covering the core concept of functions calling themselves, base cases, tail recursion, and practical examples including factorial calculation, tree traversal, flood fill, and Quicksort. Each example illustrates how problems can be broken into self-similar subproblems, and the post explains how the call stack is used to 'remember' state during recursive calls.
