Definition
There are deferred operations during a recursive process (need to elaborate)
Example
function factorial(n) {
if (n === 1) return 1;
return n * factorial(n-1);
}
/*
factorial(3)
3 * factorial(2)
3 * (2 * factorial (1))
3 * (2 * 1)
3 * 3
6
*/Note
A function can be recursive, but not give rise to a recursive process, such as in Iteration i.e. A function can call itself, but not result in deferred operations
