"A recursive process is one in which objects are defined in terms of other objects of the same type. Using some sort of recurrence relation, the entire class of objects can then be built up from a few initial values and a small number of rules," explains MathWorld.
For more information, search Google for [recursion].

haha..
ReplyDeleteLame
The funny part is if you keep clicking on the did you mean link, Google can show you slightly different results.
ReplyDeleteTo understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.
ReplyDeleteNot quite sure where I heard that first.
yeah great feature :-D
ReplyDeletei tried to do that on wikipedia but it didn't let me link to the article itself. ;-)
is there any good collection for all (search based) google eastereggs?
like "answer to life, the universe and everyting" or "how many horns on a unicorn"... anyhow, the good old "we can not find chuck norris, he finds YOU" doesn't work anymore :-(
Nice try. How about this?

- What is the difference between 'primitive' and 'blob'?
- It's like between cake and a piece of it.
- What piece?
- See? You got it!
That's funny :D
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! In fact, I'd have to say that's funny as a shirt I once saw that said, "The Department of Redundancy Department."
ReplyDeleteI love how Google comes up with stuff just for the fun of it. I think it's great!

For my comment, click the blue # just above here ................^
ReplyDeleteGeeks! Nerds Looosers!!! Ahh hahha! Into the locker, Q-ball!
ReplyDelete=)
and if you click in "did you mean link", still appears again and again (recursively) ... it might be a joke from google
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work on IE or Opera. Nerds don't use them? :D
ReplyDeleteIt no longer works (not just in Opera or IE).
ReplyDeleteSo they decided it is a bug after all.
ReplyDeleteIt still works for me in IE and Firefox for me on July 28th 2009.
ReplyDeleteit wasn't working earlier, but it is re-working now, in google chrome
ReplyDeleteheh, I thought it was a google fail.
ReplyDeleteWorks fine in Firefox...
ReplyDeleteThings like this are what win Google a place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that is working only every other hour of the day. Regardless of the browser. Just by chance people have been trying it either the wrong hours or the right ones and thinking it is the browser.
ReplyDeletethis really made me laugh
ReplyDeleteThis comment is about this comment
ReplyDeleteLol :] Brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny...I am learning about it in programming class tee hee....I am weird lol...

It can take a lifetime to truly understand recursion.
ReplyDeleteIt does still work .
ReplyDeleterecursion is really hard, once you grasp it you wouldn't understand why you didn't get it, I learnt it the hard way. Recursion actually made me cry now that I look back it cracks me up
ReplyDeleteIn a recursive definition, something is not defined *exactly* in terms of itself, but something slightly different (such as defining the solution to a problem in terms of the solution(s) of smaller instances of the same kind of problem). In Google's case, 'recursive' is not defined recursively, but circularly ... *exactly* in terms of itself. This is not the right definition, and could be confusing. Brownie points for a clever idea, though :-).
ReplyDeleteIts actually a good option when we dont know the spelling or the word exactly.
ReplyDeleteBut I spelled it right!
ReplyDeletewell,recursion is as same as recursive function that called itself,so google keep calling the recursion function if you click it
ReplyDeleterecursion is a function that called itself,so if we called recursion it will be back to the "recursion" search result.I've learn it at my college...
