Hello! Can someone please explain this to me? Thank you. //What is the output of this code? function p(m) { if (m==1) { return m; } else { return m * p(m-1); } } alert (p(4));

Solomoni Railoa So if m had been 3, the answer would be 6? And alert (p(5)) would be 120?

equal to: let m = 4; for (let mm = m - 1; mm != 1; mm = mm - 1){ m = m * mm; } console.log(m);

fan yu It looks like an alternate way to figure and output the same number.
