Why no output?

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int factorial(int n) {
return n * factorial(n-1);
}

int main() {
cout << factorial(5);
}

Answer 1

Without base condition function will keep calling itself recursively infinite times.

Answer 2

Hello. I think that your recursive function "factorial" is wrong. You need 'if (n==1) {return 1}'. Otherwise the function never stop.

Answer 3

Because you just created endless recursion. You have to write an assertion, when n reaches 0 to stop recursion.

Answer 4

I don't wont to make the end to this program

Answer 5

So you'll never get result then.

Answer 6

I wont to create endless recursion but no output

Answer 7

Okey, thanks)
