Top Most Recursion in Java with example – Programming Techniques Tutorial

Recursion is one of the tough programming technique to master. Many programmers working on both Java and other programming language like C or C++ struggles to think recursively and figure out recursive pattern in problem statement, which makes it is one of the favorite topic of any programming interview. If you are new in Java or just started learning Java programming language and you are looking for some exercise to learn concept of recursion than this tutorial is for you. In this programming tutorial we will see couple of example of recursion in Java programs and some programming exercise which will help you to write recursive code in Java e.g. calculating Factorial, reversing String and printing Fibonacci series using recursion technique. For those who are not familiar with recursion programming technique here is the short introduction: "Recursion is a programming technique on which a method call itself to calculate result". Its not as simple as it look and mainly depends upon your ability to think recursively. One of the common trait of recursive problem is that they repeat itself, if you can break a big problem into small junk of repetitive steps then you are on your way to solve it using recursion.
