What is a recursive function? Recursive function is function that calls itself. When writing recursive functions there must be a definite break condition, otherwise we risk creating infinite loops. Example : Computing the factorial of a number without recursion function factorial(n) { if (n == 0 || n == 1) { return 1; } var result = n; while (n ] 1) { result = result * (n - 1) n = n - 1; } return result; } document.write(factorial(5)); Output : 120 Example : Computing the factorial of a number using a recursive function function factorial(n) { if (n == 0 || n == 1) { return 1; } return n * factorial(n - 1); } document.write(factorial(5)); Output : 120
