详解JavaScript中分解数字的三种方法

function factorialize(num) {
 return num;
}
factorialize(5);

function factorialize(num) {
 // If the number is less than 0, reject it.
 if (num < 0) 
  return -1;
 
 // If the number is 0, its factorial is 1.
 else if (num == 0) 
  return 1;
 
 // Otherwise, call the recursive procedure again
 else {
  return (num * factorialize(num - 1));
  /* 
  First Part of the recursion method
  You need to remember that you won't have just one call, you'll have several nested calls
  
  Each call: num === ""     num * factorialize(num - 1)
  1st call – factorialize(5) will return 5 * factorialize(5 - 1) // factorialize(4)
  2nd call – factorialize(4) will return 4 * factorialize(4 - 1) // factorialize(3)
  3rd call – factorialize(3) will return 3 * factorialize(3 - 1) // factorialize(2)
  4th call – factorialize(2) will return 2 * factorialize(2 - 1) // factorialize(1)
  5th call – factorialize(1) will return 1 * factorialize(1 - 1) // factorialize(0)
  
  Second part of the recursion method
  The method hits the if condition, it returns 1 which num will multiply itself with
  The function will exit with the total value
  
  5th call will return (5 * (5 - 1))  // num = 5 * 4
  4th call will return (20 * (4 - 1)) // num = 20 * 3
  3rd call will return (60 * (3 - 1)) // num = 60 * 2
  2nd call will return (120 * (2 - 1)) // num = 120 * 1
  1st call will return (120)    // num = 120
  
  If we sum up all the calls in one line, we have
  (5 * (5 - 1) * (4 - 1) * (3 - 1) * (2 - 1)) = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120

 // Step 2. Create the WHILE loop 
 while (num > 1) {
