Question

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));

Answer 1

Solomoni Railoa Thanks a million! This is a very clear and helpful explanation.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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