What is recursion in C?

Recursion is when a routine calls itself. The C language is
irrelevant, except that C is capable of recursion and some languages
are not capable of recursion.

What advantage is there in its use?

It may lead to simpler code.

It can help you write stories!

-Beej

#include <stdio.h>

void tell_story(void)
{
printf("It was a dark and stormy night. "
"We were standing on the deck. "
"The ship was sinking. The Captain turned to me and said, "
"\"Tell me a story, my son.\" "
"And so I began: ");

printf("'");
tell_story();
printf("'");
}

int main(void)
{
tell_story();
return 0;
}

That's definitely not going to have a happy ending.

Ha! Excellently put.
