Maple can't solve sample code

I couldn't get Maple to solve this sample function at its own documentation:

rsolve({y(n)=ny(n−1),y(0)=1},y)

The output in the documentation is Gamma(n+1). But when I executed the code, Maple only returns

{y(0) = 1, y(n) = ny(n-1)}

Any help is much appreciated!

You forgot to put multiplication there. Now ny is seen as a variable, and not as n*y. If you insert the mulitplication or a space, then the output is indeed Gamma(n+1)
