best exercises for recursion in programming code example

Example 1: recursion questions in c

#include <stdio.h>

unsigned long long int factorial(unsigned int i) {

   if(i <= 1) {
      return 1;
   }
   return i * factorial(i - 1);
}

int  main() {
   int i = 12;
   printf("Factorial of %d is %d\n", i, factorial(i));
   return 0;
}

Example 2: recursion questions in c

#include <stdio.h>
int sum(int n);

int main() {
    int number, result;

    printf("Enter a positive integer: ");
    scanf("%d", &number);

    result = sum(number);

    printf("sum = %d", result);
    return 0;
}

int sum(int n) {
    if (n != 0)
        // sum() function calls itself
        return n + sum(n-1); 
    else
        return n;
}
