A recursive function is a function which calls itself. It classic example is calculating N factorial.
N factorial is represented using N!
N factorial is calculated by taking N * (N-1) * (N-2) …. (1)
For example 5! is 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 *1.
We can calculate this with Lua like this:
function FACTorial(N)
if (N == 1) then
return 1
end
return N * FACTorial(N-1)
end
function main(Data)
local Result = FACTorial(5);
end
