how to write recursive functions in python code example
Example 1: recursive function in python
def factorial(x):
"""This is a recursive function
to find the factorial of an integer"""
if x == 1:
return 1
else:
result = x * factorial(x-1)
return ()
num = 3
print("The factorial of", num, "is", factorial(num))
Example 2: recursion in python
def yourFunction(arg):
#you can't just recurse over and over,
#you have to have an ending condition
if arg == 0:
yourFunction(arg - 1)
return arg
