im trying to make a little dos app that finds the factorial of the number the user enters.
when i type in the number 7, i get 840, when i should be getting 5040.
here is my source:
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int num; void calculate(); void last(); int main() { cout<<"Please enter the number you wish to find the factorial of: "; cin>> num; calculate(); } void calculate () { const int sent = num; for (int x = 1; x < sent - 1; x++){ num = num * x; } last(); } void last() { int input; cout<<"The answer is: " << num <<" \n"; cin.get(); cout<<"\n Would you like to enter another number?\n\n1.)Yes\n2.)No\n\nSelection:"; cin>> input; switch (input){ case 1: cin.get(); main(); break; case 2: cout<<"Thank you for using this program. Have a nice day.\n"; cin.get(); break; } }
