The sample VB.net code for comparison contains both syntax and logic errors.
In VB.Net, an IF is ended by "End If", not End.
Also, "
Refactored code:
Private Function Factorial(ByVal number As Integer) As Integer
If number = 0 Then
Return 1
Else
Return (number * Factorial(number - 1))
End If
End Function
Shouldn't the exit condition for this be "if number = 1"? Since you're multiplying by "number -1", and "1 -1" = 0, it seems like you would end up multiplying by 0, and thus getting 0 as your result every time. (It's been a while since I played with VB, so I'm not certain on this.)
