So I haven't programmed in a while and am trying to get rid of that rust.... and then for some reason nothing seems to go properly. Anyways I'm writing a Factorial function and my variable keeps getting some insane value. It's a really quick fix but evidently I forgot what I'm doing let me know what I'm doing wrong. #include <stdio.h> int factorial (int n) { if (n <= 1) return 1; else n = n*factorial(n-1); return n; } int main() { int answer = factorial(4); }[/list][/quote] |

Works fine for me. Maybe you're printing the wrong thing? |

#Maclife it's my first time using Xcode as an IDE so maybe it's a configuration issue?.... damn |

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say you're doing this:
This would output a really big number (a memory address), instead of the value of the variable. If this is the case, just remove the ampersand. |

Works perfect for me too, on Linux 64-bit. Can you post your complete code including your print call ? |
