Consider a flowchart where a user inputs a number, and the algorithm calculates the factorial of that number. Which of the following control structures would be most appropriate for representing the iterative process in this flowchart?

• Traverse the array once, keeping track of both the largest and second largest values

• Use a recursive approach to compare each element with all others
