Yes, another silly function. This time it finds the factorial of a number.

Usage:

Code:
factorial(number);

Code:

Code:
long factorial(long x)

{

    long factorial = x;

    long i = 0;

    for (i = (x - 1); i > 1; --i)

    {

        factorial = (factorial * i);

    }

    return factorial;

}

Please be aware that any input number greater than 31 will not produce a useful result. This is because long integers cannot store numbers greater than the factorial of 31. Sorry.

a better program

Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

   int a;

   int c=0;

   int i;

   printf("enter the number for finding fact");

   scanf("%d",&a);

   for(i=1;i<=a;i++)

 {

     c+=i;

     printf("the factorial is:%d",c);

 }

    return 0;

 }
