Wouldn't this be way easier just using a for loop?

[Mooska]

I learned how to do this in my brain before I knew what it was... sweet brag.

[surferdudevideo]

look at the call stack debug window and step through the code. that will help you see how the compiler interprets this code.

i try and explain this to you:

factorial(5) returns 5*factorial(4)

factorial(4) returns 4*factorial(3)

factorial(3) returns 3*factorial(2)

factorial(2) returns 2*factorial(1)

factorial(1) returns 1

and then it goes backwards to top like this 1*2*3*4*5 = 120 :) hope you understood this guys .

p.s. thumbs up for Bucky :D

@theubunny if you look at the first video of this tutorial series, you'll see this is Code::Blocks

What is this program name? Is it Dev C++?

[XKillerBoy]

factorialFinder(0);

[cachwahed]

Lets write it in other way:

int fact(int x){ return (x<=1?1:x*fact(x-1));

}
