Lambda recursive ...

[Olexandr Demura]

Or choose to be even more functional (-: replace recursion with
fixed-point combinator.

interface PreIntToInt {
  int apply(PreIntToInt next, int i);
  default IntToInt fix() { return (i) -> { return this.apply(this, i); }
}
PreIntToInt preFactorial = (self, i) -> { return i == 0 ? 1 : i *
self.apply(i - 1); };
IntToInt factorial = preFactorial.fix();

Have a nice weekend.
