Challenge: Use Recursion to Create a Countdown

To be honest. I did not understand the exercises on recursive. I still do not know what they are and used for

The best way I can explain it is like a For Loop “on steroids”…

function countdown(myArray, n){
...do stuff...
if(n === 100) return something
countdown(myArray, n+1)
}

That will run when called & if n isn’t 100, it will run again with n+1. And then keep running until n = 100. It’s a simple example, but basically it just keeps running its self over and over until you want it to ‘return’ something

Thank you so much I got a little bit of insight there. So what it does is the function runs until the if condition is met after which it returns something and stops.
