A simple little recursion method example.

RecursionExample.java

public class RecursionExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// call the method
		int fact = myFactorial(3);
		// print the result
		System.out.println(fact);
	}

	public static int myFactorial(int integer) {
		if (integer == 1) // base case
			return 1;
		else
			return (integer * (myFactorial(integer - 1)));
	}
}
