Understanding Recursion with Python Factorial Program

Day 15 of my #100DaysOfCode challenge 🚀 Today I worked on a Python program to find the factorial of a number using recursion. The goal was to understand how recursion works and how a function can call itself to solve a problem. What the program does: • Takes an integer input from the user • Uses recursion to calculate the factorial • Handles the base case properly • Returns the final factorial value How the logic works: The function factorial(n) is defined If n == 0, the function returns 1 (Base Case) Otherwise, the function returns: n * factorial(n - 1) The function keeps calling itself with smaller values The recursion stops when it reaches the base case The final result is printed Example: Input: 7 Output: 5040 (Because 7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040) Key learnings from Day 15: – Understanding recursion and base cases – Learning how function calls are stacked – Breaking a problem into smaller subproblems – Strengthening fundamental algorithm concepts #100DaysOfCode #Day15 #Python #PythonProgramming #Recursion #Algorithms #ProblemSolving #CodingPractice #LearnByDoing #ComputerScience #BTech #CSE #AIandML #VITBhopal #TechJourney
