}

function repeat(operation, num) {
    if (num === 0) return;
    operation();
    repeat(operation, num-1);

Loops are iterative by nature. Recursive approach does not really fit into this situation. Anyhow, here you go. But use it only for fun, never for real :)

function repeat(func,maxruns,run){
    if(run>=maxruns){
      return;
    }
    func();
    repeat(func,maxruns,(run||0)+1);
}
repeat(operation,10);

var foo = function foo() {
console.log(arguments.callee); // logs foo()
// callee could be used to invoke recursively the foo function (e.g.     arguments.callee())
}();

You should not use arguments.callee because it is deprecated and in ES5 you are not allowed to use it anymore: [...]Warning: The 5th edition of ECMAScript (ES5) forbids use of arguments.callee() in strict mode. Avoid using arguments.callee() by either giving function expressions a name or use a function declaration where a function must call itself.[...]
