factorial of n= n*(n-1)*(n-2)*......*1 Last statement does the same. Lets say you pass 5 in this method, then it will return 5*fact(4).Hence this method is called again in fact(4). it will return 4*fact(3)which will further return 3*fact(2),which will return 2*fact(1).For fact(1),if statement is true,which will return 1. Hence net return=5*4*3*2*1,which is answer
