Write a small program, in pseudocode or otherwise, that demonstrates a recursive algorithm. Write a small explanation of how recursion is used in your program.

The Fibonacci sequence is defined as:f(n) = f(n-1) + f(n-2)F(0) = 1F(1) = 1Where n is a positive number. This allows for a recursive algorithm to be written that returns 1 for the two ba...
