# Instruction.next\_instructions\_recursive()
Returns the set of all instructions following the current node in the control flow graph.
`next_instructions_recursive() →` [`APISet`](/glider-ide/api/iterables/apiset.md)`[`[`Instruction`](/glider-ide/api/instruction.md)`]`
The difference between the next\_instructions\_recursive() function and [next\_instructions()](/glider-ide/api/instruction/instruction.next_instructions.md) is that this function works in an recursive (**inter**-procedural) manner and returns all instructions following the current instruction in the CFG (control-flow-graph).
*The function is recursive (intra-procedural), and follows function calls; for the non-recursive (**intra**-procedural) variant of this function, use* [*`next_instructions()`*](/glider-ide/api/instruction/instruction.next_instructions.md)*.*
For example, in the function:
```solidity
function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) public override returns (bool) {
_approve(_msgSender(), spender, amount);
return true;
}
```
for the instruction:
```solidity
_approve(_msgSender(), spender, amount);
```
the function will return instructions from `_approve()`.
### Query Example
```python
from glider import *
def query():
instructions = Functions().with_name("approve").exec(1, 9).instructions().exec(1,1)
return instructions + list(instructions.next_instructions_recursive())
```
### Output Example
{% hint style="info" %}
The function returns APISet, instead of APIList, in case the result of the function is used as the return value of the query it must be casted to `list()`
{% endhint %}
