# 6.2.1 Procedural Recursion

In this lesson, you will explore more recursion examples using **Procedural Recursion.** Procedural recursion is the same concept as functional recursion, however in procedural recursion, the function does not return a value.

While not returning a value, procedural recursion is still very common. Some applications will print values, while others may be used to search through values or update other data structures.
