The source code to calculate the factorial of a given number is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Swift program to calculate the factorial 
// of a given number using recursion

import Swift 

func calculateFactorial(of number: Int) -> Int {  
    if number == 1 {  
        return 1  
    } else {  
        return number * calculateFactorial(of:number - 1)  
    }  
}  

let fact = calculateFactorial(of: 4)  
print("Factorial: ",fact) 

Output:

Factorial:  24
