The following code is for a Python function to represent a recursive function to find the factorial of an integer

Question

def factorial(x):
if x == 1:
return 1
else:
return (x * factorial(x - 1))
num = 3
print("The factorial of", num, "is", factorial(num))

Which lines reflect the base case?

print("The factorial of", num, "is", factorial(num))
print("The factorial of", num, "is", factorial(num))

if x == 1:
return 1
if x == 1: return 1

else:
return (x * factorial(x - 1))
else: return (x * factorial(x - 1))

num = 3
num = 3

Answer 1

The lines that reflect the base case in the provided code are:

if x == 1:
       return 1

This part of the code defines the base case for the recursive factorial function, where if x is equal to 1, the function will return 1, stopping further recursion.
