Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 2SA
In this chapter, the rules given for calculating the factorial of a number are as follows:
If n = 0 then factorial (n) = 1
If n . 0 then factorial (n) = n × factorial (n - 1)
If you were designing a function from these rules, what would the base case be? What would the recursive case be?
