 If the parameter of the recursive factorial function is 0 or 1, the function returns 1, because this is how the factorial operation is defined. In any other case the function returns the value `n * factorial(n - 1)`, which is the value of its parameter `n` multiplied by the return value of the function call `factorial(n - 1)`.
 
-The crucial part here is that the function definition contains a stop condition. If this is met, the recursion ends. In this case that condition is `n < 2`. We know it will be reached eventually, beacuse the value passed as the argument to the function is decreased by one on each level of the recursion.
