  • @kakashi99908
    @kakashi99908 Před 2 lety +5

    I find it interesting how it knows to sort of work backwards once it finally finds out what 1 is instead of just getting to 1 and stopping but it also knows to not go through the loop again.

  • @warrensnook9435
    @warrensnook9435 Před rokem +1

    This is a great tutorial.
    For a small adjustment, shouldn’t the base case technically be:
    if (n==1 || n == 0)
    {
    return 1;
    }
    Since 0! Is also 1?

  • @new1old
    @new1old Před 3 lety

    Alex, as the factorial gets each result of each recursion step, where is It being stored? You don’t seem to store each iteration result in a variable. I just see the final 120.

    Can we solve it using a void return type instead of int or long, if not then why not? I'm really confused can't solve it using the void return type

    • @hulza571
      @hulza571 Před 2 lety +1

      hi i just saw your comment lemme help you
      first you must put import statement (import java.util.Scanner;) before public class
      then put Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); inside the class
      declare what variable (for example, the name is num)
      so you type int num = input.nextInt(); (if the data type is integer)
      cmiiw, im still learning too

  • @seighinv.h.6471
    @seighinv.h.6471 Před 2 lety

    Great explanation but you forgot to keep in mind that 0! is equal to 1. Super easy fix however by just updating your base case to n == 0.

  • @automationneemo
    @automationneemo Před 2 lety +1

    Good explanation. But there is a bug in this code. What would be the value of factorial(0). I think you have not consider it. If you give an input as 0, error will be thrown at run time.

  • @kiradomochi4961
    @kiradomochi4961 Před 2 lety +1

    !0 is 1 so the base case that should return 1 is n == 0. Everything else is perfect for every input. Otherwise if you put a 0 for n the code keeps running.

  • @mariacamilabaronamartinez6748

    I don't know if I really stupid. But how can I do this by keyboard. I mean asking for the number. Just no put it in the program. Like with a scanner o JOptionpain

    • @tydy5601
      @tydy5601 Před 2 lety

      The int data type to represent an integer has a maximum value of (2^32) -1 = 2,147,483,647, so any factorial result higher than this value will fail because of the data type we are using, so 12! is the last value we can calculate
