    Function Help

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    {
    	int n, i, sum;
    	printf("Enter a value for n!: ");
    	scanf("%d", &n);
        sum = n;
    
        for( i = 1; i < n; i++ )
            sum = sum * ( n - i );
    
            printf("n! is %d\n", sum);
    }
    In main() you will still prompt the user for a positive integer, n, but then you will pass it to a function that calculates n! and then returns the value to main() for printing.

    How do I change this into a function?

    Have you looked at functions at all? In your book? In tutorials?

    Why? Because you said you wanted to make some of your code into a function. So we check that you even know what a function is. You can look at this very site for some tutorials. Essentially whatever code calculates your value (in this case, n!) you put in a separate function to be called from whatever piece of code needs it.
