pascal

I haven't worked with Pascal so far, and my problem is understanding the recursive aspects that prm assignment operators and how the final (correct) value is derived. Would someone please explain that line for me.

Program test(output);

FUNCTION prm(az:integer) : real;
begin
    if az = 1 then
        prm := sqrt(12)
    else
        prm := sqrt(12*prm(az-1));
end;

begin
    writeln(prm(30):0:2);
end.
