Instance
because it's very similar to the way get_posts is used,
So don't give any advanced examples, simply give an official example.

Summarize
Note: Because the return value of the Wp_get_recent_posts function is an array,
The Setup_postdata function can theoretically only accept variables of the object type,
So the official document explains that you can't use the Setup_postdata function to load into a loop.
Because the use of not much, so I have not to try, interested students can try to see whether the success.
So, if you use the Setup_postdata function,
The Wp_get_recent_posts function is not as easy to use as the Get_posts function.
