i've been trying to solve this problem using Python for days now but I can't seem to figure it out. I'm working on a project where I need to create a function that calculates the factorial of a number, but I keep getting an error. If anyone could take a look and help me troubleshoot, I'd really appreciate it! Here's my current code: ```python def factorial(n): if n == 0 or n == 1: return 1 else: return n * factorial(n-1) # Testing teh function print(factorial(5)) ``` The error message I'm getting is: RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in comparison. If you spot what I'm doing wrong, or have a different solution to calculate the factorial, please share! Thanks in advance for your help!
