factorial c++ recursion code example

Example 1: factorial in c++

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int fact(int i){
	if (i <= 1) return 1;
  	else return i*fact(i-1);
}

int main(){
  	ios::sync_with_stdio(0);
  	cin.tie(0);
  	int N;
  	cin >> N;
  	cout << fact(N) << "\n";
  	return 0;
}

Example 2: c++ factorial

#include <cmath>

int fact(int n){
    return std::tgamma(n + 1);  
}    
// for n = 5 -> 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 120 
//tgamma performas factorial with n - 1 -> hence we use n + 1

Example 3: fcatorianls c++

#include <iostream> 

//n! = n(n-1)!
int factorial (int n)
{
  if (n ==0)
  {
    return 1; 
  }
  else 
  {
	return n * factorial(n-1); 
  }
}
