In this case I would have thought that 'recursive' means that it has to make sense as a sentence...?

MarkGrout's Arbitrary Response Kiss, Grow Roots Or Undress Teasingly!

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, that's just reverse innit. Recursive implies meaning building upon successive terms of something, like a mathematical formula in which each step depends on a previous calculation. I think.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

A recursive acroynm is one that includes itself, eg:

Gnu = Gnu's not unix
Pine = Pine is not elm

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

So, if I chose the name M, my recursive acronym would be,
errm,

You are ein uber-geek Rick.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

It comes from mathematics originally. The classic example is the way the nth Fibonacci number can be defined recursively as follows:

F(1) = 1
F(2) = 1
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)

― Ricardo (RickyT), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, like if ILM stood for "ILM love making", then it actually brings out another instance of the acronym ILM - which means, in fact ILM stands for "ILM love making love making", oops! that means ILM *really* stands for "ILM love making love making love making" ad infiniwhatsit.

pretty pointless for acronyms but an important concept for programming.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Andrew notes definition: recursive embraces word.

or more to the point, recursively means that your acronym muct include the word you're acronyming.

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 12 March 2004 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

rick didn't start the thread though - he was merely explaining recursion to those who didn't know! that's helfulness as opposed to geekdom!

Nothing wrong with Rick's recursion example, but my favourite, and the usual one used in computing examples, is factorials:
