conditional:

A block of statements that may or may not be executed depending on some condition.

chaining:

A way of joining several conditional statements in sequence.

nesting:

Putting a conditional statement inside one or both branches of another conditional statement.

recursion:

The process of calling the same function you are currently executing.

infinite recursion:

A function that calls itself recursively without every reaching the base case. Eventually an infinite recursion will cause a run-time error.
