Calculation of Factorial using Recursive Relation

Hello,

I have tried to construct a code using a "function" that contains a "recursive relation", but was not able to complete it. The following Matlab code is designed to compute 10!. Would you help me to find out the solution?

n=10;
f=@recursion; <===?

function y=recursion(n)
y=n*recursion(n)
end

You need the proper formula first:

y = n * recursion(n-1);

But also you need to figure out how to stop the recursion and simply return a number. I will let you work that out.

Thank you for your explanation!
