Loopy Basics: Recursive Functions

In Loopyland, we don't just have loops, we have LOOPS WITHIN LOOPS!

Recursive functions are a fundamental part of Loopy programming. They're like a party in your head, where functions call each other until someone gets too drunk to remember what's going on.

Here's a simple recursive function to calculate the factorial of a number:

function factorial(n) { return n * factorial(n-1); }

But don't try this at home, kids! This function will get you lost in an infinite loop faster than you can say "Loopy McLoopface".

Example Use Cases

1. Factorial function: `factorial(5)` would call itself with 4, which would call itself with 3, and so on.
