Recursive Method for Calculating Factorial

Function Description
Complete the factorial function in the editor below. Be sure to use recursion.

factorial has the following paramter:

  • int n: an integer

Returns

  • int: the factorial of

Note: If you fail to use recursion or fail to name your recursive function factorial or Factorial, you will get a score of .

Input Format

A single integer, (the argument to pass to factorial).

Constraints

  • Your submission must contain a recursive function named factorial.

Sample Input

3

Sample Output

6

Explanation

Consider the following steps. After the recursive calls from step 1 to 3, results are accumulated from step 3 to 1.
