Program to calculate the factorial of a number using Recursion

---

#include<iostream>

#include<conio.h>

using namespace std;

int factorial(int number);

int main()

{

        int number = 0, result = 0;

        cout << "\n\n\t __ Calculate the factorial of a number using Recursion __";

        cout << "\n\n\n  Enter the Number - ";

        cin >> number;

        result = factorial(number);

        cout << "\n\n\t Factorial of " << number << " is " << result;

        getch();

        return 0;

}

int factorial(int number)

{

        if (number == 1)

      

               //__ Condition that will stop the infinite looping __

        {

               return 1;

        }

        else

        {

               return number * factorial (number - 1); //__ Recursion __

        }
