"value": "Recursion in programming is a technique where a function calls itself in order to solve smaller instances of the same problem. This allows complex problems to be broken down into simpler, more manageable parts. A classic example of recursion is computing the factorial of a number. The factorial of a number n (denoted as n!) is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. For instance, the factorial of 5 is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1. Here's a simple example in Python:\n\n```python\n\ndef factorial(n):\n if n == 1:\n return 1\n else:\n return n * factorial(n - 1)\n\nprint(factorial(5)) # Output: 120\n```\nIn this example, the function `factorial` calls itself with the argument `n - 1` until it reaches the base case where `n` is 1."

IPv6 addresses are written in hexadecimal and separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).\n3. **Configuration**: IPv4 can be configured manually or via DHCP, while IPv6 supports auto-configuration (SLAAC) and does not need NAT (Network Address Translation) due to its vast address space.\n\nThe transition to IPv6 is necessary mainly because of IPv4 address exhaustion. The rapid growth of the internet and the proliferation of connected devices have depleted the available IPv4 addresses. IPv6's vast address space is essential to accommodate the future growth and expansion of the internet."

Deforestation leads to habitat destruction, pushing many species towards extinction.\n2. **Climate Change**: Trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis. When forests are cut down, this CO2 is released back into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.\n3. **Soil Erosion**: Trees and vegetation anchor soil in place. Without them, soil erosion increases, leading to loss of fertile land and sedimentation in rivers and streams, which can affect water quality.\n\n**Socio-Economic Impacts**: \n1. **Livelihoods**: Many indigenous communities and rural populations rely directly on forests for their livelihoods, through activities like logging, agriculture, and medicine. Deforestation threatens their way of life and economic stability.\n2. **Displacement**: The destruction of forests can lead to the displacement of people who depend on them, forcing them to move to urban areas or other regions, sometimes causing conflicts over resources.\n3. **Economic Loss**: While deforestation might provide short-term economic gains through timber and land for agriculture, it often leads to long-term economic losses due to the degradation of ecosystem services such as water regulation, soil fertility, and climate stability."

Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, rather than the binary bits (0s and 1s) used in classical computing. Qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition and can be entangled with one another through entanglement, which allows quantum computers to process complex problems more efficiently than classical computers.\n\n**Differences from Classical Computing**:\n1. **Superposition**: In classical computing, bits are either 0 or 1. In quantum computing, qubits can be in a state of 0, 1, or any quantum superposition of these states, allowing for exponentially greater processing power.\n2. **Entanglement**: Qubits can be entangled, meaning the state of one qubit can depend on the state of another, even if they are far apart. This property enables quantum computers to solve complex problems faster than classical computers.\n3. **Parallelism**: Quantum computers can perform many calculations simultaneously, thanks to superposition, while classical computers must perform each calculation sequentially."

This effect is absent near the equator, so tropical cyclones generally do not form within 5° latitude of the equator."
