I have searched but I was not able to find this. Would anyone please tell me that if there is any built-in factorial function in c++ ?

The factorial function is defined for all positive integers, along with 0. What value should 0! have? It's the product of all integers greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 0. But there are no such integers.
factorial() function. In Python, math module contains a number of mathematical operations, which can be performed with ease using the module. math. factorial() function returns the factorial of desired number.
A recursive function is a nonleaf function that calls itself. The factorial function can be written as a recursive function call.
Although there is no C function defined specifically for computing factorials, C math library lets you compute gamma function. Since Г(n) = (n-1)! for positive integers, using tgamma of i+1 yields i!.
If you use a user-defined factorial function, this would print identical numbers:
for (int i = 1 ; i != 10 ; i++) {
printf("%lld %f\n", factorial(i), tgamma(i+1));
}
Demo.
1 1.000000
2 2.000000
6 6.000000
24 24.000000
120 120.000000
720 720.000000
5040 5040.000000
40320 40320.000000
362880 362880.000000
Note: Considering how easy it is to code up factorial function, using gamma to compute factorials is a lot like killing a fly with a sledgehammer.

No, there is no such function in the Standard Library.
