Loops in recursion

[JimmyH]

If you place a for loop in a recursive function with the function call within the loop... will the loop finnish or does it stop working untill the last recursion???

[claudio]

Can you explain what you're doing?

If you provide ways for your function to escape recursion (such as end-of-data, or specific conditions), then it will eventually finish. If you're not doing any checking before or in your loop, you could easily run into infinite recursion.

That being said, sometimes it is desirable to continue infininely, sometimes not. It depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
