The ultimate guide to recursion interviews. Developed by FAANG engineers, practice with real-world C++ problems, interactive code playgrounds, and get interview-ready in just a few hours.

If you’ve ever struggled with solving coding problems using recursion, or if you’ve just got an interview coming up and want to brush up on your knowledge, you’ll definitely find this course helpful.
 
You’ll start with the basics of what recursion is and why it’s important before diving into what it looks like in practice. You’ll see how recursion can help you solve a variety of different math, string, and data structure problems, using interactive code playgrounds you can execute directly in your browser. You’ll have access to detailed explanations and visualizations for each problem to help you along the way.  
 
By the time you’re done, you’ll be able to use what you’ve learned to solve complex real-world problems, and even advance more easily through your interviews at top tech companies.

Recursion for Coding Interviews in C++


## What is a factorial?
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers less than it. It is denoted by the symbol: $!$

For example, 4! (read as four factorial) is denoted as follows:

$4!=4\times3\times2\times1=24$

$6!=6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1=720$
