fact

 

 

Overview

The fact function determines the factorial of the value specified in the argument {num}. The factorial of a number is the product of multiplying integers from 1 up to (and including) the specified number. The mathematical formula for factorials is represented as N!=1 * 2 * 3...*N.

Usage

The fact function is used to compute the factorial of a number.

 

Syntax

Expression:

(fact num)

Arguments Name Type Description
Argument:numNumber The number to be factored

Returns:

The computed factorial. Always in Integer form.
