Question

What will the following code output to the console:

((function f(n){return ((n > 1) ? n * f(n-1) : n)})(10));
Explain your answer.

Answer 1

The code will output 3628800 to the console by calculating the factorial of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following code will output 3628800 to the console.

This code uses a recursive function to calculate the factorial of a given number. The function 'f' takes an input 'n' and returns the factorial of 'n' by multiplying 'n' with the factorial of 'n-1' as long as 'n' is greater than 1. When 'n' reaches 1, the function returns 1.

In this case, the initial value of 'n' is 10. So, the calculation is 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3628800.
