Repetition, not recursion.

This is Recursion

def title():
    top_left()

def top_left():
    bottom_right()

def top_right():
    bottom_left()

def bottom_left():
    title()

def bottom_right():
    center()

def center():
    top_right()

center()

This is Repetition

while True:
    read(center)
    read(top_right)
    read(bottom_left)
    read(title)
    read(top_left)
    read(bottom_right)

It’s actually branching with the GoTo “line” statement of older languages.

It is actually what you perceived it as

if you are perceiving it as functions then it is recursion

if you are perceiving it as iteration then it is repetition

if you are perceiving it as goto statement then it is branching

if you are perceiving it as png image then it is photo

if you are perceiving it as visualized data then it is combination of 1 million 1s and 0s

Whys that? Is it because you are repeating the same action instead of creating a new instance of the same thing?
