In this program, we will read a number and then find (calculate) of factorial of that number using recursion. What is factorial: Factorial of a number is the product of that number with their all below integers. For example (Factorial of 5) is: !5 = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
/*C program to find factorial of a number using recursion.*/
#include <stdio.h>
//function for factorial
long int factorial(int n)
{
if(n==1) return 1;
return n*factorial(n-1);
}
int main()
{
int num;
long int fact=0;
printf("Enter an integer number: ");
scanf("%d",&num);
fact=factorial(num);
printf("Factorial of %d is = %ld",num,fact);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Output
Enter an integer number: 5
Factorial of 5 is = 120
Factorial program using recursion
