    Is this a function ?

    int fact (int n) {

    Is this a way a function starts in C++ ?

    Functions in C or C++ are do not use a "function" keyword.

    Yes.

    [Technically, in standard C, you can omit the return type and it defaults to int - most modern compilers will issue a warning in this case, and it's considered bad style].
