factorial

Calculates the factorial of a number.

Use recursion. If n is less than or equal to 1, return 1. Otherwise, return the product of n and the factorial of n - 1. Throws an exception if n is a negative number.

const factorial = n =>
  n < 0
    ? (() => {
        throw new TypeError('Negative numbers are not allowed!');
      })()
    : n <= 1 ? 1 : n * factorial(n - 1);

factorial(6); // 720
