Endospores are hardy, defensive structures that enable some bacteria to survive harmful environmental conditions, such as starvation, high temperatures, desiccation (drying out), chemical disinfectants and extremes in pH.
Recursive formula is a formula that is used to determine the next term of a sequence using one or more of the preceding terms.
Recursion is a way of programming or coding a problem, in which a function calls itself one or more times in its body. Usually, it is returning the return value of this function call. If a function definition fulfils the condition of recursion, we call this function a recursive function.
