<DESC>This demo shows how you can create a recursive VI in LabVIEW. Recursion is when a VI uses itself on its own block diagram. Such functionality is useful when implementing VIs to solve problems of the form F(n) = F(n-1) + G(), where the functions may be arbitrarily complex and more direct iterative methods may not be easy to implement. </DESC>

  <LABEL><STEXT>This demo uses recursion -- that is, a VI that calls itself on its own block diagram -- to build a string of numbers. The task itself is trivial and could be easily achieved without using recursion, but the demo will let you see the details of recursion which may be useful for solving harder problems.<LF>

1. Select the number of times that the demo should recurse.<LF>
2. Run VI.<LF>
3. The output will be a string of numbers starting at zero and going up to your input number.<LF>

Details on how the recursion works may be found on the block diagrams of this VI and its subVIs.</STEXT></LABEL>
