Line 2:
 
Write a function to return the factorial of a number. Solutions can be iterative or recursive (though recursive solutions are generally considered too slow and are mostly used as an exercise in recursion). Support for trapping negative n errors is optional.

===Iterartive===
<java>public static long fact(int n){
if(n < 0){
System.err.println("No negative numbers");
return 0;
}
long ans = 1;
for(int i = 1;i < n;i++){
ans *= i;
}
return ans;
}</java>
===Recursive===
<java>public static long fact(int n){
if(n < 0){
System.err.println("No negative numbers");
return 0;
}
if(n == 0) return 1;
return n * fact(n-1);
