I don't really get it either. My best guess is it's a reference to a recursive function that calls itself with a return statement?
i think its just a bad analogy for how a normal function returns to where it was called
You call a function with a bug in it and get a wrong return value, at least that's what I thought of when I saw this
Recursion is a real pain in the ass
Infinite recursion be like
