Abstract
In nature and mathematics, you can find the topic self-similarity or recurring structures, such as snowflakes, fractals, and Julia sets, which are interesting graphical formations. In this context, one speaks of recursion, meaning that things repeat or resemble each other. Related to methods, this means that they call themselves. Important therefore is a termination condition in the form of special input values, which leads to the end of the self calls.
