Practical 8

Aim: Finding factorial of a number using recursion.


Theory:
To find factorial of number three method are given first one uses
for loop, second uses function to find factorial and third using
factorial representation using (!), so 5 factorial.
Written as 5! Factorial as n!
N!=n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*…….*3*2*1
And 0!=1
We are going to calculate the factorial of a number using
defining user defined function names as “fact” whose return type will
be long int. We will paas it variable of type int as a parameter whose
factorial it has to find out.
Algorithm:
Step 1: Start

Step 2: Read the input number from the user

Step 2: Declare and initialize variables fact = 1 and i = 1

Step 4: Repeat the loop until i<=num

fact = fact * i

i = i++

Step 5: Print fact to get the factorial of a given number


Step 6: Stop

Flowchart:
Result: In this way we have implemented a program to calculate the
factorial of any given number using recursion.
