Does this qualify as recursion?

Question

I am aware that a function calling itself is recursive. But, is an object creating objects of it's own type recursive? Additionally, I have no intention of using this code as it will quite obviously cause problems, I'm only interested in whether or not it qualifies as recursion.

class Cell 
{
    Cell()
    {
        Cell c = new Cell();
    }
} 

Answer 1

Indeed it does. The Cell constructor will be called by itself, assuming that some calling code sets off the construction of a Cell instance.

Unless you block the recursion somehow (perhaps with a maximum instance limit), your program will eventually crash.
