I have used the sample code below to demonstrate its usage. This is a small program to calculate the factorial of a number.
# Python program to find the factorial of a number using recursion
def recur_factorial(n):
"""Function to return the factorial
of a number using recursion"""
if n == 1:
return n
else:
return n*recur_factorial(n-1)
# take input from the user
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
# check is the number is negative
if num < 0:
print("Sorry, factorial does not exist for negative numbers")
elif num == 0:
print("The factorial of 0 is 1")
else:
print("The factorial of",num,"is",recur_factorial(num))
