• In the context of data structures, recursive data types such as trees and graphs are commonly used to represent complex relationships between objects.
• The programmer used a recursive approach to solve the problem, breaking it down into smaller sub-problems that could be solved more easily.
• The recursive formula for the sequence was used to generate each subsequent term based on the previous one, creating an infinite sequence of numbers.
