C Programming (Turbo C++ Compiler) - Factorial of a Number using Recursion

---

We can write a program to find the factorial of a given number using recursion and with out using recursion.

4! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 = 24
5! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120  or (5 * 4!)
6! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 = 720 or (6 * 5!)

Recursion meaning the function calls itself.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int Fact(int n)

{

    if( n <= 1)

        return 1;

    return n * Fact(n - 1);

}

int main()

{

    int i = 0;   

    for(i = 0; i <= 10; i++)

    {

       printf("\n%2d! = %d", i, Fact(i));

    }

 

    printf("\n\n");

 

    return 0;

}
