Create both a recursive function called recursive_factorial and iterative function called iterative_factorial that does the following

Accepts as parameter an Integer n
Computes the factorial of n
Returns the factorial of n

SOLUTION

import unittest

class RecursiveTestCase(unittest.TestCase):

def test_recursive_factorial_one(self):
result = recursive_factorial(4)
self.assertEqual(result, 24, msg="Inaccurate value"

def test_recursive_factorial_two(self):
result = recursive_factorial(0)
self.assertEqual(result, 1, msg="Inaccurate value"

def test_iterative_factorial_one(self):
result = iterative_factorial(5)
self.assertEqual(result, 120, msg="Inaccurate value"

def test_iterative_factorial_two(self):
result = iterative_factorial(12)
self.assertEqual(result, 479001600, msg="Inaccurate value"

Let's see your code. I guess this is one of Andela's ALGO lab question.

Bro if you seriously expect someone to come and drop his code for you to copy then you should quit programming and face beads.

Bro calm down na, u don't have the right to insult OP like that, if you can't help him ball out na, nobody is telling you to write full code so he can copy. Nawa oh.

OP I don't know Python at all. If it was Java or PHP, I would have helped.

I'm not insulting OP in anyway, if you want people to help you, you have to show at least some effort by pasting the codes you have tried. He open a thread with just the Andela test code without showing us at least some part of codes he wrote himself.

If he had posted his own trial code, I will know how to point him to the right resources, to come here empty handed and expect to go with a bag full of codes for your assignment is just not right.

Where is your recursive factorial function
All i can see here is a unit test of the actual program.....

def recursive_factorial (n):
  if n == 0:
    return 1
  else:
    return n *recursive_factorial(n-1)
def iterative_factorial (n):
  product = 1
  for i in range(1,n + 1):
    product = product * i
  return product

op that should solve your problem

Thanks to everybody........... Am a Java Programming and i help people with beads making.
This question (Python)was giving to a friend and am trying to help him. Thanks God bless you all @dabanzy much love

@omoolabeads u're welcome

def recursive_factorial(n):
n = int(n)
if n <= 1:
return 1
else:
return (n * recursive_factorial(n - 1))

# print (recursive_factorial())


def iterative_factorial(n):
result = 1
for i in range(1, n+1):
result *= i
return result

# print (iterative_factorial())
