So recursion is a useful resource in Python. It will save you lots of lines of code, bytes of memory and lots of time. Here’s how you do it:

To use this technique, you just have to include the same function you’re defining in the same function. An example is represented here:

The factorial function is recurring by definition but here’s an example of what or how it’s done. For more info, check out this post:

So here’s another use of the for loop, you can use it to calculate the factorial of a number. 

First you have to declare your variable which will be storing the count, and the one which will be storing the total. After that you just multiply and add inside the for loop.

A quick tutorial on how to make the factorial function using a while loop.

First you have to state a counting variable for it to go through the while loop, you also have to declare a variable where the total will be stored.

Then it’s just a piece of cake, you have to multiply the variable where the total is being stored. Important note, the variable with the total can’t be 0, it has to start at 1 for it to be multipliable.

Owner taught something about ifs and elses but what’s the difference between an else and an elif?

It’s easy, an elif statement has no limit as to how many of them you can put without indenting them. 

For example, the elif compares something when the condition wasn’t met but there’s another condition to check.

This is only a simple post but I hope it clarified some doubts.
