0 multiplied by anything will always be zero. Also 0! is equal to one. You should not return 0 but 1 if its 1 or 0

I do not get it
WAIT DANISH COMING

old gulch
alright but you understand that 0*something will always result in 0
dim wyvern
Yes
old gulch
what happens when you return 0 for x ?
dim wyvern
Become 0
Oh wait I put 1 and it work
I do not get recursion
It is so stupid
I learn when something is return then it stop
Now idk anything
I return it and then it go back to the method then it return the x and somehow become this answer idk

do you know about the successor function in math
dim wyvern
No
slim canopy
ok so basically the kind of step down multiplication to addition is, is the same as addition to succession
S is the successor function, it's defined as:
S(0) = 1
S(1) = 2
etc
from the 2 given equalities above, you can say S(S(0)) = 2
this is the basis of the logic of recursion
suppose a function f as follows
f(0) = 0
f(n) = f(n-1) × n
this is a recursive function in math (well not exactly, the definition would look a bit different, but you get the idea)
from the definition, f(0) is the base case, it has a constant value
