factorial using for loop

Question

hey guys I made a factorial program using for loops and a list and it works so my question was is it better to use this or to use the recursion method coz I found this simpler and tell me if I have done a mistake anywhere. my code is :
x = int (input (":"))
y =1
list = list (range (1, (x+1)))
for i in list:
y*=I
print (y)

Answer 1

I see and hey can u just tell me what does recursion exactly mean

Answer 2

i see

Answer 3

thanks alot

Answer 4

I tried both in py and SL seems to use more resource with recursion (you get bigger factorial with for loop before "time limit exceeded" msg)

Answer 5

Recursion is much easier for me
def factorial(n):
return n * factorial(n - 1) if n > 1 else 1

Num = 4
print("factorial of", Num, "is :", factorial(Num))

Answer 6

It means function call itself under certain conditions

Answer 7

nice

Answer 8

You had placed 'I' in place of 'i' inside for loop
But anyways,
Good job !
