Funny how i needed to know this exact concept a day before my exam

[@AjayPatel-xh6qt]

Same bro....😂

[@gravity_gaming_01]

Same bro....😂(2)

[@kingdomgaming2306]

God bless you, these videos are the only thing keeping me going during these "troublesome times". It's like I get more out of this than a 2-hour zoom call. Cheers for the free content.

[@kakashi99908]

I find it interesting how it knows to sort of work backwards once it finally finds out what 1 is instead of just getting to 1 and stopping but it also knows to not go through the loop again.

[@Hogojub]

This is easily your best video. You expained everything perfectly! Thank you :)

[@darvr4042]

I took a class that covered this topic 2 years ago, and I have an exit exam this week. This is a very good quick refresher. Thank you.

[@martinezf4484]

Excellent video.. Shared this with my high school school students since there were having trouble understanding how recursion works!!

[@alexlorenlee]

Fanny Martinez great! I hope this helps them!

[@sreekanthreddymaramreddy1100]

Thanks Alex that the best explanation I have seen on recursion

[@sebastiansaenz3239]

Beautiful. I like how he uses the print statements at the end. It helps to clarify what's going on step by step. Simply perfect.

[@eliseziemer4145]

Wow fam these are the best videos on recursion I've seen!

[@oveamin]

precise and clear explanation with concept. Thank You

[@gear1450]

This was the best video ive seen on recursion by a country mile. Thanks so much

[@kyte2000]

Great channel bro, because of you I totally concepts i've been struggling with.

[@heller2128]

Oh. My. God. You are the first person who put this information so clearly, so I could finally understand it. Thank you SO much!!!

[@soniyasherpa2519]

Something so easy, but very well explained! Thanks a lot

[@selalorin]

i can already tell you are going to save my grade and stress levels for ap comp sci this year. my teacher took most of our class period to explain this and it still sounded like a foreign language to me, but when you explained it i immediately understood what was going on.

[@PawanYadav-fr6mw]

Good Explain: I understand in the last part of the video and how exactly it,s work. Thanks

[@fredysoto3555]

You do a better job of explaining programs than my professor (:

[@sap8662]

Thank u thank u. I'm making a calculator app where loops are not permitted, only recursion. You explained this concept super well! I just got figure out how to apply it to my assignment.

[@namratachavan248]

Very well explained.. helped a lot for understanding this concept.

[@user-qv2sc9jr5j]

I was sick during my lecture on this and my exam's in 6 days so it's safe to say you're saving me lol

[@alirezadoroudi9126]

that was such a great explanation man, thank you

[@raqel3036]

Thoroughly explained, thank you!

[@joethompson8147]

Great work here Alex!

[@rafidayan123]

Amazing! Thank you for everything!

[@rajpradeep87]

Thanks, a great explanation especially the last part when you detailed about factorial(1)=1 and how the program calculates from last to top👏👏

[@harshasuresh4062]

This really helps Alex, Thank You!!

[@thakurshekhar1676]

The way you teach is really amazing and too good keep it up!!!

[@abhinaviyer8958]

By far the best explanation on factorial, thanks a lot.. from 🇮🇳

[@dipankarbarman5307]

Love your guidance brother👌👌.

[@_bilarts]

You explanation is exactly what I needed to understand what the ___ this code was doing.

[@ahmedhamza2134]

excellent explanation!!!!!!!!!!

[@cent026]

1.4k subs woaa Been here for a long time now :))

[@YT-mm1tn]

Wow thanks so much friend!!

[@nikhielsingh748]

Great video bro 🙏🏻

[@koshygkoshy4783]

Nice job explaining bro

[@ThinkinTomm]

Thanks man, well explained ❤

[@sulaimansiksik9834]

Bruh you are a life saver , my exam tomorrow

[@y_social_]

good stuff thanks.

[@karthikp7437]

This Guy is the God of Teaching !! Damn finally understood what this Recursion means. Thank You Alex !

[@kesavarajp9715]

you really helpfull to me thank you bro

[@carly6774]

thanks whaaat a big help , just continue helping us godbless !~~ ;)

[@vibhorpant7648]

Thank you You are great teacher 👌

[@aizatkalybekova719]

I am so glad to have u here 😇. Thank u so much for everything

[@sush3117]

Thank you soo much

[@punitchaudhary8670]

Thanks 👍

[@johnmichaelomambac4764]

thank you very much sensei.

[@gulshanmeem6904]

OMMMMMMMGGGGGG!!!!! you are literally saving my failing grade. THE BEST JAVA KZbinR EVER. can u start teaching in my college, cause u r so much better than my prof

[@ritikaarya8966]

Thanks! :)

[@warrensnook9435]

This is a great tutorial. For a small adjustment, shouldn’t the base case technically be: if (n==1 || n == 0) { return 1; } Since 0! Is also 1?

[@svajunelaurinenaite3584]

OMG. Thanks, Alex! Finally understood it! :O

[@nigoraakhmadjanova1845]

Omg now I got the core concept of the OOP❤

[@humawaseem576]

you are awesome!!!

[@AwsmAyumiiKa]

I love this so much

[@Beast80001]

thanks for this, so if i wanted to print every number up to the passed in number, I could just use a loop in the main method?

[@kamalkaur1479]

Amazing clarification !!!!!!!!! Hey! Alex , I am in beginner in java . Have to learn java because of selenium tool. After seen your video really want to concern what is the easy way to learn java concepts? Please advise.....

[@GaetanoBarreca]

Thanks!

[@alexlorenlee]

Thank you!!

[@erim1434]

your awesome. thnx

[@nogayo_Jump]

thanks

[@apparte462]

Very Good

[@tukapan65]

LOL。。I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE RECURSION. THANKS BRO

[@kennysolis4316]

10/10 thank you

[@albinsopaj]

What is the biggest you can input as n, so the output is a number (not specifically int)?

[@patilvaishnavi9137]

Hi! Could you plss make a vedio that has all the methods in one program like constructor, inheritence, return,(by calling them from one class to another class)....... It will help us. But your explanation is perfect👍👍😊😊

[@Ninjabdul]

amazing

[@lehos6843]

Yeah Now it is clear Thanks a lot 🤺

[@harisalikhan7804]

Bro want to get the class in private. Your way of teaching is super easy. Please help me.

[@BURUNDIB]

Hi bro I need to ask how can I get this example 2) In the Factorial Number Example, return 2*n!,

[@huzaifaarsalan]

so tomorrow's my exam. And honestly, I've been searching for something good. Well finally found it.

[@alexlorenlee]

Huzaifa Arsalan good luck tomorrow!

[@huzaifaarsalan]

@@alexlorenlee Thanks a lot.

[@mohammedanees8561]

you are good

[@adventureoflife786]

my teacher gave me assignment to make a program of triangle with using recursive method. but that should be in two files one main and 2nd test file. Can any one guide me plz

[@entertainmentblast7234]

Can we solve it using a void return type instead of int or long, if not then why not? I'm really confused can't solve it using the void return type

[@Whutda9910]

Ty boi

[@automationneemo]

Good explanation. But there is a bug in this code. What would be the value of factorial(0). I think you have not consider it. If you give an input as 0, error will be thrown at run time.

[@stargazer8718]

How do I replace line 7 with a scanner? Need help asap!

[@hulza571]

hi i just saw your comment lemme help you first you must put import statement (import java.util.Scanner;) before public class then put Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); inside the class declare what variable (for example, the name is num) so you type int num = input.nextInt(); (if the data type is integer) cmiiw, im still learning too

[@wristdisabledwriter2893]

I’ve always understood the factorial recursive both mathematically and by program but I’ve had trouble understanding how to program towers of Hanoi. I understand it mathematically but every time I see code I don’t get it. can you do it please?

[@new1old]

Alex, as the factorial gets each result of each recursion step, where is It being stored? You don’t seem to store each iteration result in a variable. I just see the final 120.

[@opeoluwajoseph2212]

How can I program exponential without the maths method

[@smokestrong1000]

I'm confused how is it possible for it to ever execute the else statement when the if statement is executed when it reaches 1? How is that possible?

[@seighinv.h.6471]

Great explanation but you forgot to keep in mind that 0! is equal to 1. Super easy fix however by just updating your base case to n == 0.

[@VijayKumar-zu5lf]

Is this code works for 13 factorial?

[@kiradomochi4961]

!0 is 1 so the base case that should return 1 is n == 0. Everything else is perfect for every input. Otherwise if you put a 0 for n the code keeps running.

[@srijiths7126]

yes, you're right

[@mariacamilabaronamartinez6748]

I don't know if I really stupid. But how can I do this by keyboard. I mean asking for the number. Just no put it in the program. Like with a scanner o JOptionpain

[@catherinesauza1040]

is it linear recursion? or what kind of recursion is this

[@mesutbakhtyari]

You deserve my tuition fee

[@nigelpallatt]

Why not have a Scanner and get the imput?

[@YaiseAkuma]

This reminds me of the Fibonacci sequence formulae

[@danielcorss4712]

why do I get a negative value when i input 17 factorial?

[@tydy5601]

The int data type to represent an integer has a maximum value of (2^32) -1 = 2,147,483,647, so any factorial result higher than this value will fail because of the data type we are using, so 12! is the last value we can calculate

[@ilavarasansriraman4140]

What if fact(0) ?

[@harikrishna9888]

superr where is github link brotehr

[@Ayntak]

I dont get it how it get summarised at the far end.

[@jennifers6823]

N* factorial (n-1)

[@hulza571]

"Good luck in your classes" Man you're better than my lecturer ilysm I learn a lot from you

[@nabeehasyeda1265]

recursive can sometimes be really confusing honestly

[@DaBestAround]

Incredibly helpful but you omitted something relevant to this problem. The concept of a 0! (0 factorial) exists and by definition, 0! = 1

[@mrbatman3867]

// Iterative factorial method. public class FactorialCalculator { // recursive declaration of method factorial public long factorial( long number ) { long result = 1; // iterative declaration of method factorial for ( long i = number; i >= 1; i-- ) result *= i; return result; } // end method factorial // output factorials for values 0-10 public void displayFactorials() { // calculate the factorials of 0 through 10 for ( int counter = 0; counter

[@JonnySolomon]

Couldn’t you have just used a for loop

[@ba.youtube1007]

but he is teaching how to use recursion.

[@Vesalius21]
