Do recursive functions break up when they stop calling each other?

They stop calling only when they run out of curses or get bored by just shouting the same curses back and forth at one another.
(just to put thing right - they generally don't call anyone but themselves - perhaps you're thinking of cursive functions).

Not sure about that, but I do know they'll eventually stop calling each other if they call each other too much...

One of them will get so mad that they will blow their stack.

Similar to the bird that flies in ever decreasing concentric circles.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Actually, I think recursive functions are Schizophrenic. The talk to themselves and get answers.

Talking to yourself is only a problem if you don't expect the answer.

Actually, I sometimes find it's the only way to get an intelligent conversation.

No, they just return .

Only if they're not chasing their tail [recursion].

Easy to start the week (and lifted from the SMH - I've been travelling all day).

It's a conundrum, isn't it?
I can't make my mind up if I should either.
Clever clue though!

If I said I got it from "Granny", would that be any better?
Someone better claim it, before Greg wakes up.

I sometimes base my clues on ones I've seen in a paper, I just change the definition and if neccessary the anagram indicator - nice clue though

Then a solution for those of us who read this thread everyday but can never figure it out, please?

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Plump for frozen turnover and delectable sides. (6)
Plump for is the clues definition
Frozen turnover = iced = deci ( reverse iced )
Delectable sides = de ( the first and last letters of delectable )
Plump for = Decide
