### 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.
```js
const factorial = n =>
n < 0
? (() => {
throw new TypeError('Negative numbers are not allowed!');
})()
: n <= 1
? 1
: n * factorial(n - 1);
```
```js
factorial(6); // 720
```
