Math question factors

Tell us what’s happening:
I’m curious why this code doesn’t work if I remove ‘factorialize’ from the return line.

Your code so far
function factorialize(num) {
if(num===0) {return 1;}
return num * factorialize(num-1);}

factorialize(5);

The function is recursive, it is call itself within itself until the num parameter is equal to 0.
