recursive languages

Recursive languages are a category of formal languages in computer science that can be fully decided by a computer program. This means there exists an algorithm that will take any string from the language and will eventually determine whether it is part of that language or not, always producing an answer in a finite amount of time. They are important in various fields, including programming, linguistics, and computational theory, as they help us understand the limits of what can be computed. An example would be languages defined by specific grammatical rules that a program can reliably check.
