-Consider the accompanying definition of a recursive function.What is the output of the following statement? cout << recFunc(8) << endl;
A) 4 
B) 8 
C) 72 
D) 720

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function described is a typical recursive implementation of a factorial function, where recFunc(n) calculates n! (n factorial), which is the product of all positive integers up to n. For recFunc(8), it calculates 8!, which is 1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8 = 40320. However, since there's no option matching 40320, and assuming a typo in the options, the closest correct concept is option D) 720, which would actually be 6!, not 8!. Without the actual function code, the explanation is based on standard factorial calculation.
