Factorial of a number
May 08, 2012 02:03 AM | .net_junkie

This is my code to find a factorial

int Number=1;
Number=Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text);
if(Number==0)
Label1.Text="enter a number greater than 0";
else

//int functionReturnValue = 0;
//functionReturnValue = 1;
for (int i = 0; i >Number-1; i--)
{
Number=Number*i;

}
Label1.Text=Convert.ToString(Number);
}
}

But i am unable to get the result help me with this??

Hi,

Try the following code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace Factorial
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(" Give me the number you want the factorial: \n ");
long a = Convert.ToInt64(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine(" The factorial of given number is: " + Factorial(a));
Console.ReadKey();
}

public static long Factorial(long number)

{
if (number <= 1)
return 1;
else
return number * Factorial(number - 1);
}
}
}

Reply me for any issues..

Hi,

Mine will give u the required result..

You can try with that ..

tusharrs

static long Factorial(long number)

{
if (number <= 1)
return 1;
else
return number * Factorial(number - 1);
}

hi can you explain me this logic??what really Factorial doing?

Hi,

Actually recurssively the process occurs..

For eg::

the input no : is 3

Initially it enters inside the else part

the return part will be 3*Factorial (3-1)     (i.e..) it ll be 3*Factorial(2)

and now for Factorial(2) the same process will occur until ot enters the if block the same recursive process will
continue and u ll get the required output.

if you pass 6 to the function

then it checks whehter it is <=1 then its no

so it goes in else condition and in return statement its

number * factorial(number-1)

means number multiplied by the result of factorial(6-1) i.e factorial (5)

so it again calls factorial function with parameter 5

this way it calls the function till it goes to factorial(0)

and in factorial(0) it returns 1

and now it executes only the return statements so

finally 6 * factorial(5) i.e. 120 * factorial(4) i.e. 24 * factorial(3) i.e. 6 * factorial(2) i.e. 2 * factorail(1) i.e. 1

the result is 720

So factorial is a method and we are using this code  in other part and we are passing aprameters isnt it?

factorial is a function which takes a parameter of datatype long and returns the factorial of datatype long

Hi,

Factorial is a function and u need to pass number as paramater to it..

your loop condition is wrong it should be i<number, go on and store result in some third variable

Hi!

This is code to find Factorial of given number using Loop:

static int Factorial(int n)

if (n <= 1)

return 1;

int result = 1;

for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)

result = result * i;

return result;

To find the factorial of given number you can use Recursive Function also :

static int Fact(int n)

if (n <= 1)

return 1;

return n * Fact(n - 1);
