Factorial Computation Program
Ok, so Im trying to write a program that computes factorials recursively.
Here is what Ive got (when I asked my teacher for help, he said my factorial.cpp has one key flaw but I cant find it)
Factorial.cpp
Code:
int factorial(int N)
{
//cout << "into factorial with " << N << endl;
if ( N < 1 )
return 1; // base case
//cout << " not a base case with N = " << N << endl;
int answer = factorial(N-1);
//cout << " returning " << answer << " as answer at N = " << N << endl;
return answer;
}
driveFactorial.cpp
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
#include "factorial.cpp"
int main()
{
int FactForN = 1;
cout << "\n Factorial of what number? (negative to end) ";
while ( cin >> FactForN && FactForN > 0)
{
int answer = factorial(FactForN);
cout << "\n The factorial of " << FactForN << " is " << answer << endl;
cout << "\n Factorial of what number? (negative to end) ";
}
}
any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
