JavaScript Recursion Explained Simply
Recursion is a technique for iterating over an operation by having a function call itself repeatedly until it arrives at a result. Most loops can be rewritten recursively.
function factorial(n) {
if (n <= 1) return 1;
return n * factorial(n - 1);
}
console.log(factorial(5));
console.log(factorial(0)); AI panel
