recursion python3 code example

Example 1: python recursion example

# Recursive Factorial Example
# input: 5 
# output: 120 (5*4*3*2*1)
def factorial(x):
    if x == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        return (x * factorial(x-1))

Example 2: python recursion print statement

def recursive_method(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1 
    else:
        return n * recursive_method(n-1)
