7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040.
What is the Factorial of 12? 12! = 479001600.
Factorials (!) are products of every whole number from 1 to n. In other words, take the number and multiply through to 1. For example: If n is 3, then 3! is 3 x 2 x 1 = 6.
You have to return the value. Here you go:
function fact(x) {
if(x==0) {
return 1;
}
return x * fact(x-1);
}
function run(number) {
alert(fact(parseInt(number, 10)));
}
and
<input type="button" value="Find factiorial" onclick="run(txt1.value)">
(How to make it work for negative numbers I leave up to you ;) (but I showed in this post anyway))
Just for fun, a more correct, non recursive algorithm:
function fact(x) {
if(x == 0) {
return 1;
}
if(x < 0 ) {
return undefined;
}
for(var i = x; --i; ) {
x *= i;
}
return x;
}
