// recursionscad: Basic recursion example
// Recursive functions are very powerful for calculating values.
// A good number of algorithms make use of recursive definitions,
// e.g the caluclation of the factorial of a number.
// The ternary operator " ? : " is the easiest way to define the
// termination condition.
// Note how the following simple implementation will never terminate
// when called with a negative value. This will produce an error after
// some time when OpenSCAD detects the endless recursive call.
function factorial(n) = n == 0 ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n;
color("cyan") text(str("6! = ", factorial(6)), halign = "center");
