Add link, clarify, and remove silly sentence
'''Recursion''' is the repeated application of a procedure or definitionthrough reference to itself.
===In Computing===
:3. Write a function to compute any number to the power of a non-negative integer.
===In Language=External links== Recursion in language enables phrases to be embedded within one another, usually through [[conjunctions]], such that it should be possible to make an infinitely long sentencehttp://ocw.mit. For one such example we could take the sentence ''Many atheists are overweight'' edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and precede it with ''<person> said that'' indefinitely, as follows: ''Blaine said that Barbie said that Ken said that many atheists are overweight-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/unit-1/lecture-6-recursion/ Unit on recursion in free online computer science course from MIT.'']
