A base case is a fundamental concept in recursion that acts as the stopping point for a recursive function, providing a condition under which the function will no longer call itself. It ensures that the recursion terminates by defining a simple instance of the problem that can be solved directly without further recursion. Without a base case, recursive functions could run indefinitely, leading to stack overflow errors.
congrats on reading the definition of base case. now let's actually learn it.
