Question

#include<stdio.h>

int fact(int i);
void main()
{
    int j;

    j=fact(4);

    printf("%d",j);
}

int fact(int i){
    int x=i;static int tot=1;

    if(x<1){
        tot=x*fact(x-1);
    }

    return tot;
}

Please help me with this code. What is wring in this code?

Answer 1

You do not have a base condition in the fact function.

You need to check:

 if(i == 1){
    return 1;
 }else{

   return i * fact(i - 1);

}
