Thread: FACTORIAL. Can you hel me about this

Where do you call the function? In the main right?

So define a variable.

int x = 10;

Then call the factorial function with fact(x);

Or whatever the name of the function is.
It's just basic maths...or common sense.

Me thinks you are just copying from somewhere without understanding it, perhaps from some friend or some other source or something.

There is no way you would be doing a recursive function and not understanding variables and how to pass a value into another function.

You should have to stuck to a simple for loop.

Code:

include<stdio.h>
main()
int n;
clrscr();
{
printf("Enter a Number");
scanf("%d,&n);
  if (n == 0)
  return 1;
   else
  return n * Factorial (n - 1);
}
getch();

like that>

Do you really think that will run?

Compile it and see.

im not. copying. huhu.! its in my ntbk

Either case a 4 page thread on code that is only 15 lines is far too much.

You are needlessly complicating things for yourself.

You didn't even think about what I suggested earlier. A FOR LOOP is all you need!

i do the loop things. thanks. im sorry if was not good. thanks Then.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {

double fact;
int i;

printf("Enter number\n");
scanf("%lf",&fact);

for(;; ){
  fact = fact*i;
}

return 0;
}

Cmon now. What needs to be in the for loop statement?

Also what needs to be done after the for loop?

Two very simple things.

okay THanks. brilliant. not like me

okay Thanks to al of you. i will now off.

So you got it working?

Cheers

YES>! tomorrow again because. its already 10:31pm here. i have class tomorow at 7:30am to 6:00Pm..
