It would be really helpful if u refer some example code and compiler u are using..thanks

[engr]

Actually it works for any code..

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

long factorial (long a)
{
  if (a > 1)
   return (a * factorial (a-1));
  else
   return 1;
}

int main ()
{
   long number;
  cin>>number;
  cout << number << "! = " << factorial (number);
  
  return 0;
}

OrWell Dev C++

I run it on dev c++ 5.5.2 ..it is compiling and running fine..no syntax or logical errors..

You're probably using 32bit Windows and are compiling for 64bit Windows. Although the compiler itself will run on 32bit, the created executables won't.
