javascript - How can I execute recursion regardless of the function name? -

can name of running function in javascript?

i need recursion. i'd able change function name without checking , changing every instance function calls itself.

(for example php has "magic constants" __function__ etc.. - similar in javascript?)

if goal recursion, don't need function name string if can reference function itself. note you'll still have check , change every instance function called others, , that's larger task updating recursive calls (if no other reason it's not localized function body).

passing function argument

function foo(self, i) {     if (i === 0 )         return;      console.log(i--);     self(self, i); }  foo(foo, 3); 

using arguments.callee (as raynos points out, brittle in strict mode)

function foo(i) {     if (i === 0 )         return;      console.log(i--);     arguments.callee(i); }  foo(3); 

output of either option
