Try to avoid recursive functions if you can, they can slow your program greatly.

It all depends on the problem being solved by the recursive function.

The fibonacci sequence is where each successive number is the sum of the two numbers before it. A recursive function can call itself for previous states! Pass in a parameter to determine which number of the sequence to calculate. Also, remember to put "stop cases" in your function to avoid infinite recursion.

fibonacci is defined recursively as follows
f(n)=f(n-1)+f(n-2)
f(1)=1
f(0)=1
