Difficulty: Medium
About this MCQ
This Medium Programming Concepts question asks: Choose the correct description of Recursion. The correct choice is A. A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem.. Read the options below, commit to one, then use the explanation to see why that choice holds and why the others do not.
Programming Concepts items like this one are written for Pakistan exams such as CSS, FPSC, PPSC, and NTS. The difficulty label is a hint about how much of the topic the stem assumes, not a score. Tags and exam names, when they are present, tell you where else the same idea is tested. Previous and next links stay in Programming Concepts so you can continue the subject. Related questions point at nearby stems if you want another angle on the same idea.
Treat the explanation as part of the question, not a footnote. If you missed it, reread the stem against the correct option before you open the next Programming Concepts item. A timed quiz is the same pool with a clock and a score. A past paper is a full sitting rather than this single question.
- A. A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem. ✓
- B. The region of a program where a declared variable can be accessed.
Why not B: “The region of a program where a declared variable can be accessed.” does not fit this question. The answer is A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem..
- C. A type system where variable types are checked at compile time rather than at runtime.
Why not C: “A type system where variable types are checked at compile time rather than at runtime.” does not fit this question. The answer is A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem..
- D. A programming mechanism used to detect and respond to runtime errors gracefully.
Why not D: “A programming mechanism used to detect and respond to runtime errors gracefully.” does not fit this question. The answer is A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem..
Correct answer
A. A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem.
Explanation
A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem. (option A) is the accepted answer to “Choose the correct description of Recursion.”. Option B (The region of a program where a declared variable can be accessed.) does not fit this question. Option C (A type system where variable types are checked at compile time rather than at runtime.) does not fit this question. Option D (A programming mechanism used to detect and respond to runtime errors gracefully.) does not fit this question. For this Programming Concepts question, the accepted answer is A technique where a function calls itself to solve smaller instances of a problem..
