Code for calculating factorial

5! -> 5*4*3*2*1

Using Loop

function factorial(n) {
  let res = 1,
    i;
  for (let i = 2; i <= n; i++) res *= i;
  return res;
}


factorial(5); // 120

Using Recursion

function factorial(n) {
  if (n <= 1) {
    return 1;
  }


  return n * factorial(n - 1);
}


factorial(5); // 120
