You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Definitions
-
- The factorial of 0 (zero) is defined as being 1 (unity).
- The Factorial Function of a positive integer, n, is defined as the product of the sequence:
n, n-1, n-2, ... 1
- Task
Write a function to return the factorial of a number.
Solutions can be iterative or recursive.
Support for trapping negative n errors is optional.

APL
APL provides a factorial function: <lang apl> !6 720</lang> But, if we want to reimplement it, we can start by noting that n! is found by multiplying together a vector of integers 1, 2... n. This definition ('multiply'—'together'—'integers from 1 to'—'n') can be expressed directly in APL notation: <lang apl> FACTORIAL←{×/⍳⍵}</lang> And the resulting function can then be used instead of the (admittedly more convenient) builtin one: <lang apl> FACTORIAL 6 720</lang>
AppleScript
Iteration
<lang AppleScript>on factorial(x)
if x < 0 then return 0 set R to 1 repeat while x > 1 set {R, x} to {R * x, x - 1} end repeat return R
end factorial</lang>
Recursion
Curiously, this recursive version executes a little faster than the iterative version above. (Perhaps because the iterative code is making use of list splats)
<lang AppleScript>-- factorial :: Int -> Int on factorial(x)
if x > 1 then x * (factorial(x - 1)) else if x = 1 then 1 else 0 end if
end factorial</lang>
Fold
We can also define factorial as foldl(product, 1, enumFromTo(1, x))
<lang AppleScript>-- FACTORIAL -----------------------------------------------------------------
-- factorial :: Int -> Int on factorial(x)
script product on |λ|(a, b) a * b end |λ| end script foldl(product, 1, enumFromTo(1, x))
end factorial
-- TEST ----------------------------------------------------------------------
on run
factorial(11) --> 39916800
end run
-- GENERIC FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------------------
-- enumFromTo :: Int -> Int -> [Int] on enumFromTo(m, n)
if m > n then set d to -1 else set d to 1 end if set lst to {} repeat with i from m to n by d set end of lst to i end repeat return lst
end enumFromTo
-- foldl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a on foldl(f, startValue, xs)
tell mReturn(f) set v to startValue set lng to length of xs repeat with i from 1 to lng set v to |λ|(v, item i of xs, i, xs) end repeat return v end tell
end foldl
-- Lift 2nd class handler function into 1st class script wrapper -- mReturn :: Handler -> Script on mReturn(f)
if class of f is script then f else script property |λ| : f end script end if
end mReturn</lang>

Limits for UInt64 numbers apply to both examples.
Examples:

Bracmat
Compute 10! and checking that it is 3628800, the esoteric way <lang bracmat> (

</lang>
This recursive lambda function is made in the following way (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus):
Recursive lambda function for computing factorial.
g := λr. λn.(1, if n = 0; else n × (r r (n-1))) f := g g
or, translated to Bracmat, and computing 10!
<lang bracmat> ( (=(r.!arg:?r&'(.!arg:0&1|!arg*(($r)$($r))$(!arg+-1)))):?g
& (!g$!g):?f & !f$10 )</lang>
The following is a straightforward recursive solution. Stack overflow occurs at some point, above 4243! in my case (Win XP).

Clay
Obviously there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Here’s a selection — recursive, iterative, and “functional” solutions. <lang Clay>factorialRec(n) {
if (n == 0) return 1; return n * factorialRec(n - 1);
}
factorialIter(n) {
for (i in range(1, n)) n *= i; return n;
}
factorialFold(n) {
return reduce(multiply, 1, range(1, n + 1));
}</lang>
We could also do it at compile time, because — hey — why not?
<lang Clay>[n|n > 0] factorialStatic(static n) = n * factorialStatic(static n - 1); overload factorialStatic(static 0) = 1;</lang>
Because a literal 1 has type Int32, these functions receive and return numbers of that type. We must be a bit more careful if we wish to permit other numeric types (e.g. for larger integers).
<lang Clay>[N|Integer?(N)] factorial(n: N) {
if (n == 0) return N(1); return n * factorial(n - 1);
}</lang>
And testing:
<lang Clay>main() {
println(factorialRec(5)); // 120 println(factorialIter(5)); // 120 println(factorialFold(5)); // 120 println(factorialStatic(static 5)); // 120 println(factorial(Int64(20))); // 2432902008176640000

<lang gnuplot># Using int(n) allows non-integer "n" inputs with the factorial
- calculated on int(n) in that case.
- Arranging the condition as "n>=2" avoids infinite recursion if
- n==NaN, since any comparison involving NaN is false. Could change
- "1" to an expression like "n*0+1" to propagate a NaN input to the
- output too, if desired.

Go
Iterative
Sequential, but at least handling big numbers: <lang go>package main
import (
"fmt" "math/big"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(factorial(800))
}
func factorial(n int64) *big.Int {
if n < 0 { return nil } r := big.NewInt(1) var f big.Int for i := int64(2); i <= n; i++ { r.Mul(r, f.SetInt64(i)) } return r
}</lang>
Built in, exact
Built in function currently uses a simple divide and conquer technique. It's a step up from sequential multiplication. <lang go>package main
import (
"math/big" "fmt"
)
func factorial(n int64) *big.Int {
var z big.Int return z.MulRange(1, n)
}
func main() {
fmt.Println(factorial(800))
}</lang>
Efficient exact
For a bigger step up, an algorithm fast enough to compute factorials of numbers up to a million or so, see Factorial/Go.
Built in, Gamma
<lang go>package main
import (
"fmt" "math"
)
func factorial(n float64) float64 {
return math.Gamma(n + 1)
}
func main() {
for i := 0.; i <= 10; i++ { fmt.Println(i, factorial(i)) } fmt.Println(100, factorial(100))
}</lang>
- Output:

}
func factorial(n float64) *big.Float {
i, frac := math.Modf(lfactorial(n) * math.Log2E) z := big.NewFloat(math.Exp2(frac)) return z.SetMantExp(z, int(i))
}

Haskell
The simplest description: factorial is the product of the numbers from 1 to n: <lang haskell>factorial n = product [1..n]</lang> Or, using composition and omitting the argument (partial application): <lang haskell>factorial = product . enumFromTo 1</lang> Or, written explicitly as a fold: <lang haskell>factorial n = foldl (*) 1 [1..n]</lang> See also: The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer
Or, if you wanted to generate a list of all the factorials: <lang haskell>factorials = scanl (*) 1 [1..]</lang>
Or, written without library functions: <lang haskell>factorial :: Integral -> Integral factorial 0 = 1 factorial n = n * factorial (n-1)</lang>
Tail-recursive, checking the negative case: <lang haskell>fac n
| n >= 0 = go 1 n | otherwise = error "Negative factorial!" where go acc 0 = acc go acc n = go (acc * n) (n - 1)</lang>
Using postfix notation: <lang haskell>{-# LANGUAGE PostfixOperators #-}

An efficient and idiomatic definition in jq is simply to multiply the first n integers:<lang jq>def fact:

Here is a rendition in jq of the standard recursive definition of the factorial function, assuming n is non-negative: <lang jq>def fact(n):
if n <= 1 then n else n * fact(n-1) end;
</lang>Recent versions of jq support tail recursion optimization for 0-arity filters, so here is an implementation that would would benefit from this optimization. The helper function, _fact, is defined here as a subfunction of the main function, which is a filter that accepts the value of n from its input.<lang jq>def fact:
def _fact: # Input: [accumulator, counter] if .[1] <= 1 then . else [.[0] * .[1], .[1] - 1]| _fact end; # Extract the accumulated value from the output of _fact: [1, .] | _fact | .[0] ;</lang>

Non-Tail-Recursive Versions
The non-tail-recursive versions of this function are easy to read: they look like the math textbook definitions. However, they will cause the Erlang VM to throw memory errors when passed very large numbers. To avoid such errors, use the tail-recursive version below.
Using the cond form: <lang lisp> (defun factorial (n)
(cond ((== n 0) 1) ((> n 0) (* n (factorial (- n 1))))))
</lang>
Using guards (with the when form): <lang lisp> (defun factorial
((n) (when (== n 0)) 1) ((n) (when (> n 0)) (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
</lang>
Using pattern matching and a guard: <lang lisp> (defun factorial
((0) 1) ((n) (when (> n 0)) (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
</lang>
Tail-Recursive Version
<lang lisp> (defun factorial (n)
(factorial n 1))
(defun factorial
((0 acc) acc) ((n acc) (when (> n 0)) (factorial (- n 1) (* n acc))))

Example usage in the REPL: <lang lisp> > (lists:map #'factorial/1 (lists:seq 10 20)) (3628800

</lang>
Or, using io:format to print results to stdout: <lang lisp> > (lists:foreach
(lambda (x) (io:format '"~p~n" `(,(factorial x)))) (lists:seq 10 20))
3628800 39916800 479001600 6227020800 87178291200 1307674368000 20922789888000 355687428096000 6402373705728000 121645100408832000 2432902008176640000 ok </lang>
Note that the use of progn above was simply to avoid the list of oks that are generated as a result of calling io:format inside a lists:map's anonymous function.

M2000 Interpreter
M2000 Interpreter running in M2000 Environment, a Visual Basic 6.0 application. So we use Decimals, for output.
Normal Print overwrite console screen, and at the last line scroll up on line, feeding a new clear line. Some time needed to print over and we wish to erase the line before doing that. Here we use another aspect of this variant of Print. Any special formatting function $() are kept local, so after the end of statement formatting return to whatever has before.
We want here to change width of column. Normally column width for all columns are the same. For this statement (Print Over) this not hold, we can change column width as print with it. Also we can change justification, and we can choose on column the use of proportional or non proportional text rendering (console use any font as non proportional by default, and if it is proportional font then we can use it as proportional too). Because no new line append to end of this statement, we need to use a normal Print to send new line.
1@ is 1 in Decimal type (27 digits).

Here's two functional programming ways to do this and an iterative example translated from the C# above. Using long, we can only use number <= 20, I just don't like the scientific notation output from using a double.

The following is tail-recursive, so it is effectively iterative: <lang ocaml>let factorial n =
let rec loop i accum = if i > n then accum else loop (i + 1) (accum * i) in loop 1 1</lang>
Iterative
It can be done using explicit state, but this is usually discouraged in a functional language: <lang ocaml>let factorial n =
let result = ref 1 in for i = 1 to n do result := !result * i done; !result</lang>
Bignums
All of the previous examples use normal OCaml ints, so on a 64-bit platform the factorial of 100 will be equal to 0, rather than to a 158-digit number.
The following code uses the Zarith package to calculate the factorials of larger numbers: <lang ocaml>let rec factorial n =
let rec loop acc = function | 0 -> acc | n -> loop (Z.mul (Z.of_int n) acc) (n - 1) in loop Z.one n
let () =

Suggested correction: Neither of the three (two) results above is exact. The exact result (computed with Haskell) should be:
30414093201713378043612608166064768844377641568960512000000000000
In fact, all results given by Octave are precise up to their 16th digit, the rest seems to be "random" in all cases. Apparently, this is a consequence of Octave not being capable of arbitrary precision operation.

PARI/GP
All of these versions include bignum support. The recursive version is limited by the operating system's stack size; it may not be able to compute factorials larger than twenty thousand digits. The gamma function method is reliant on precision; to use it for large numbers increase default(realprecision)
as needed.
Recursive
<lang parigp>fact(n)=if(n<2,1,n*fact(n-1))</lang>
Iterative
This is an improvement on the naive recursion above, being faster and not limited by stack space. <lang parigp>fact(n)=my(p=1);for(k=2,n,p*=k);p</lang>
Binary splitting
PARI's factorback
automatically uses binary splitting, preventing subproducts from growing overly large. This function is dramatically faster than the above.
<lang parigp>fact(n)=factorback([2..n])</lang>
Recursive 1
Even faster <lang parigp>f( a, b )={ my(c); if( b == a, return(a)); if( b-a > 1, c=(b + a) >> 1; return(f(a, c) * f(c+1, b)) ); return( a * b ); }
fact(n) = f(1, n)</lang>
Built-in
Uses binary splitting. According to the source, this was found to be faster than prime decomposition methods. This is, of course, faster than the above. <lang parigp>fact(n)=n!</lang>
Gamma
Note also the presence of factorial
and lngamma
.
<lang parigp>fact(n)=round(gamma(n+1))</lang>
Moessner's algorithm
Not practical, just amusing. Note the lack of *
or ^
. A variant of an algorithm presented in
- Alfred Moessner, "Eine Bemerkung über die Potenzen der natürlichen Zahlen." S.-B. Math.-Nat. Kl. Bayer. Akad. Wiss. 29:3 (1952).
This is very slow but should be able to compute factorials until it runs out of memory (usage is about bits to compute n!); a machine with 1 GB of RAM and unlimited time could, in theory, find 100,000-digit factorials. <lang parigp>fact(n)={
my(v=vector(n+1,i,i==1)); for(i=2,n+1, forstep(j=i,2,-1, for(k=2,j,v[k]+=v[k-1]) ) ); v[n+1]

Perl 6
via User-defined Postfix Operator
[*] is a reduction operator that multiplies all the following values together. Note that we don't need to start at 1, since the degenerate case of [*]() correctly returns 1, and multiplying by 1 to start off with is silly in any case.
<lang perl6>sub postfix:<!> (Int $n) { [*] 2..$n } say 5!;</lang>
- Output:
120
via Memoized Constant Sequence
This approach is much more efficient for repeated use, since it automatically caches. [\*] is the so-called triangular version of [*]. It returns the intermediate results as a list. Note that Perl 6 allows you to define constants lazily, which is rather helpful when your constant is of infinite size...
<lang perl6>constant fact = 1, |[\*] 1..*; say fact[5]</lang>
- Output:
120

rehydration (trailing zero replacement)
This version of the REXX program takes advantage of the fact that the decimal version of factorials (≥5) have trailing zeroes,
so it simply strips them (thereby reducing the magnitude of the factorial).
When the factorial is finished computing, the trailing zeroes are simply concatenated to the (dehydrated) factorial product.
This technique will allow other programs to extend their range, especially those that use decimal or floating point decimal,
but can work with binary numbers as well --- albeit you'd most probably convert the number to decimal when a multiplier
is a multiple of five [or some other method], strip the trailing zeroes, and then convert it back to binary -- although it
wouldn't be necessary to convert to/from base ten for checking for trailing zeros (in decimal).

Ruby
Beware of recursion! Iterative solutions are better for large n.
- With large n, the recursion can overflow the call stack and raise a SystemStackError. So factorial_recursive(10000) might fail.
- MRI does not optimize tail recursion. So factorial_tail_recursive(10000) might also fail.
<lang ruby># Recursive def factorial_recursive(n)
n.zero? ? 1 : n * factorial_recursive(n - 1)
end
- Tail-recursive
def factorial_tail_recursive(n, prod = 1)
n.zero? ? prod : factorial_tail_recursive(n - 1, prod * n)
end
- Iterative with Range#each
def factorial_iterative(n)
(2...n).each { |i| n *= i } n.zero? ? 1 : n
end
- Iterative with Range#inject
def factorial_inject(n)
(1..n).inject(1){ |prod, i| prod * i }
end
- Iterative with Range#reduce, requires Ruby 1.8.7
def factorial_reduce(n)
(2..n).reduce(1, :*)
end
require 'benchmark'
n = 400 m = 10000
Benchmark.bm(16) do |b|
b.report('recursive:') {m.times {factorial_recursive(n)}} b.report('tail recursive:') {m.times {factorial_tail_recursive(n)}} b.report('iterative:') {m.times {factorial_iterative(n)}} b.report('inject:') {m.times {factorial_inject(n)}} b.report('reduce:') {m.times {factorial_reduce(n)}}
end</lang>
The benchmark depends on the Ruby implementation.
With MRI, #factorial_reduce
seems slightly faster than others.
This might happen because (1..n).reduce(:*)
loops through fast C code, and avoids interpreted Ruby code.

Recursive
Using naive recursion: <lang scala>def factorial(n: Int): Int =
if (n == 0) 1 else n * factorial(n-1)</lang>
Using tail recursion with a helper function: <lang scala>def factorial(n: Int) = {

Folding
Using folding: <lang scala>def factorial(n: Int) =
(2 to n).foldLeft(1)(_ * _)</lang>
Using implicit functions to extend the Int type
Enriching the integer type to support unary exclamation mark operator and implicit conversion to big integer: <lang scala>implicit def IntToFac(i : Int) = new {

Scheme
Recursive
<lang scheme>(define (factorial n)
(if (<= n 0) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))</lang>
The following is tail-recursive, so it is effectively iterative: <lang scheme>(define (factorial n)
(let loop ((i 1) (accum 1)) (if (> i n) accum (loop (+ i 1) (* accum i)))))</lang>
Iterative
<lang scheme>(define (factorial n)
(do ((i 1 (+ i 1)) (accum 1 (* accum i))) ((> i n) accum)))</lang>
Folding
<lang scheme>;Using a generator and a function that apply generated values to a function taking two arguments
- A generator knows commands 'next? and 'next
(define (range a b) (let ((k a)) (lambda (msg) (cond ((eq? msg 'next?) (<= k b)) ((eq? msg 'next) (cond ((<= k b) (set! k (+ k 1)) (- k 1)) (else 'nothing-left)))))))
- Similar to List.fold_left in OCaml, but uses a generator
(define (fold fun a gen) (let aux ((a a)) (if (gen 'next?) (aux (fun a (gen 'next))) a)))
- Now the factorial function
(define (factorial n) (fold * 1 (range 1 n)))

Seed7
Seed7 defines the prefix operator ! , which computes a factorial of an integer. The maximum representable number of an integer is 9223372036854775807. This limits the maximum factorial for integers to factorial(20)=2432902008176640000. Because of this limitations factorial is a very bad example to show the performance advantage of an iterative solution. To avoid this limitations the functions below use bigInteger:
Iterative
<lang seed7>const func bigInteger: factorial (in bigInteger: n) is func
result var bigInteger: fact is 1_; local var bigInteger: i is 0_; begin for i range 1_ to n do fact *:= i; end for; end func;</lang>

Or, written recursively: <lang sequencel>factorial: int -> int; factorial(n) := 1 when n <= 0 else n * factorial(n-1);</lang>
Tail-recursive: <lang sequencel>factorial(n) := factorialHelper(1, n);

SSEM
The factorial function gets large quickly: so quickly that 13! already overflows a 32-bit integer. For any real-world algorithm that may require factorials, therefore, the most economical approach on a machine comparable to the SSEM would be to store the values of 0! to 12! and simply look up the one we want. This program does that. (Note that what we actually store is the two's complement of each value: this is purely because the SSEM cannot load a number from storage without negating it, so providing the data pre-negated saves some tiresome juggling between accumulator and storage.)

Standard ML
Recursive
<lang sml>fun factorial n =
if n <= 0 then 1 else n * factorial (n-1)</lang>
The following is tail-recursive, so it is effectively iterative: <lang sml>fun factorial n = let
fun loop (i, accum) = if i > n then accum else loop (i + 1, accum * i)
in
loop (1, 1)
end</lang>
Stata
Mata has the built-in factorial function. Here are two implementations.
<lang stata>mata real scalar function fact1(real scalar n) { if (n<2) return(1) else return(fact1(n-1)*n) }
real scalar function fact2(real scalar n) { a=1 for (i=2;i<=n;i++) a=a*i return(a) }
printf("%f\n",fact1(8)) printf("%f\n",fact2(8)) printf("%f\n",factorial(8))</lang>
Swift
Iterative
<lang Swift>func factorial(_ n: Int) -> Int { return n < 2 ? 1 : (2...n).reduce(1, *) }</lang>
Recursive
<lang Swift>func factorial(_ n: Int) -> Int { return n < 2 ? 1 : n * factorial(n - 1) }</lang>
Tcl
Use Tcl 8.5 for its built-in arbitrary precision integer support.
Iterative
<lang tcl>proc ifact n {
for {set i $n; set sum 1} {$i >= 2} {incr i -1} { set sum [expr {$sum * $i}] } return $sum
}</lang>
Recursive
<lang tcl>proc rfact n {
expr {$n < 2 ? 1 : $n * [rfact [incr n -1]]}
}</lang> The recursive version is limited by the default stack size to roughly 850!
When put into the tcl::mathfunc namespace, the recursive call stays inside the expr language, and thus looks clearer: <lang Tcl>proc tcl::mathfunc::fact n {expr {$n < 2? 1: $n*fact($n-1)}}</lang>
Iterative with caching
<lang tcl>proc ifact_caching n {
global fact_cache if { ! [info exists fact_cache]} { set fact_cache {1 1} } if {$n < [llength $fact_cache]} { return [lindex $fact_cache $n] } set i [expr {[llength $fact_cache] - 1}] set sum [lindex $fact_cache $i] while {$i < $n} { incr i set sum [expr {$sum * $i}] lappend fact_cache $sum } return $sum
}</lang>
Performance Analysis
<lang tcl>puts [ifact 30] puts [rfact 30] puts [ifact_caching 30]
set n 400 set iterations 10000 puts "calculate $n factorial $iterations times" puts "ifact: [time {ifact $n} $iterations]" puts "rfact: [time {rfact $n} $iterations]"
- for the caching proc, reset the cache between each iteration so as not to skew the results
puts "ifact_caching: [time {ifact_caching $n; unset -nocomplain fact_cache} $iterations]"</lang>
- Output:
265252859812191058636308480000000 265252859812191058636308480000000 265252859812191058636308480000000 calculate 400 factorial 10000 times ifact: 661.4324 microseconds per iteration rfact: 654.7593 microseconds per iteration ifact_caching: 613.1989 microseconds per iteration
Using the Γ Function
Note that this only works correctly for factorials that produce correct representations in double precision floating-point numbers.
<lang tcl>package require math::special
proc gfact n {
expr {round([::math::special::Gamma [expr {$n+1}]])}
}</lang>
TI-83 BASIC
TI-83 BASIC has a built-in factorial operator: x! is the factorial of x. An other way is to use a combination of prod() and seq() functions: <lang ti89b>10→N N! ---> 362880 prod(seq(I,I,1,N)) ---> 362880</lang> Note: maximum integer value is:
13! ---> 6227020800
TI-89 BASIC
TI-89 BASIC also has the factorial function built in: x! is the factorial of x. <lang ti89b>factorial(x) Func
Return Π(y,y,1,x)
EndFunc</lang>
Π is the standard product operator:
TorqueScript
Iterative

formatnum=CENTER(num,+2," ") PRINT "factorial of ",formatnum," = ",f ENDLOOP</lang>
- Output:

UNIX Shell
Iterative
<lang bash>factorial() {
set -- "$1" 1 until test "$1" -lt 2; do set -- "`expr "$1" - 1`" "`expr "$2" \* "$1"`" done echo "$2"
}</lang>
If expr
uses 32-bit signed integers, then this function overflows after factorial 12
.
Or in Korn style:
<lang bash>function factorial {
typeset n=$1 f=1 i for ((i=2; i < n; i++)); do (( f *= i )) done echo $f
}</lang>
- bash and zsh use 64-bit signed integers, overflows after
factorial 20
. - ksh93 uses floating-point numbers, prints
factorial 19
as an integer, printsfactorial 20
in floating-point exponential format.
Recursive
These solutions fork many processes, because each level of recursion spawns a subshell to capture the output.
<lang bash>factorial () {
if [ $1 -eq 0 ] then echo 1 else echo $(($1 * $(factorial $(($1-1)) ) )) fi
}</lang>
Or in Korn style:
<lang bash>function factorial {
typeset n=$1 (( n < 2 )) && echo 1 && return echo $(( n * $(factorial $((n-1))) ))
}</lang>
C Shell
This is an iterative solution. csh uses 32-bit signed integers, so this alias overflows after factorial 12
.
<lang csh>alias factorial eval \set factorial_args=( \!*:q ) \\
@ factorial_n = $factorial_args[2] \\
@ factorial_i = 1 \\
while ( $factorial_n >= 2 ) \\
@ factorial_i *= $factorial_n \\
@ factorial_n -= 1 \\
end \\
@ $factorial_args[1] = $factorial_i \\

Ursala
There is already a library function for factorials, but they can be defined anyway like this. The good method treats natural numbers as an abstract type, and the better method factors out powers of 2 by bit twiddling. <lang Ursala>#import nat

The [..] notation understands int, float and string but not big int so fact(BN) doesn't work but tail recursion is just a loop so the two versions are pretty much the same.
ZX Spectrum Basic
Iterative
<lang zxbasic>10 LET x=5: GO SUB 1000: PRINT "5! = ";r 999 STOP 1000 REM ************* 1001 REM * FACTORIAL * 1002 REM ************* 1010 LET r=1 1020 IF x<2 THEN RETURN 1030 FOR i=2 TO x: LET r=r*i: NEXT i 1040 RETURN </lang>
- Output:
5! = 120
Recursive
Using VAL for delayed evaluation and AND's ability to return given string or empty, we can now control the program flow within an expression in a manner akin to LISP's cond: <lang zxbasic>DEF FN f(n) = VAL (("1" AND n<=0) + ("n*FN f(n-1)" AND n>0)) </lang> But, truth be told, the parameter n does not withstand recursive calling. Changing the order of the product gives naught: <lang zxbasic>DEF FN f(n) = VAL (("1" AND n<=0) + ("FN f(n-1)*n" AND n>0))</lang>
