i am gopi ,i executed ur code and got the out put
really it is simple code and understandable

Anonymous said...

er 500.. it'll go out of stack..
segmentaton fault... worst code!!

Priyanka kumari said...

factorial of 500 is too large number which is the beyond the range of int, long int..

Aks said...

this is too simple...

I did it in 7th

try factorial of no.s up to 500

Mahesh Mudithenapalli said...

Plz write code for getting factorial for large numbers like 100..

Priyanka kumari said...

Hi Mahesh Mudithenapalli,
Your question is:
Plz write code for getting factorial for large numbers like 100..
Answer:
This code can calculate factorial of numbers more than 200
Note: Increase the value of MAX for more larger numbers.

#include"stdio.h"
#define MAX 1000
void factorialof(int);
void multiply(int);
int length = 0;
int fact[MAX];

int main(){
int num;
int i;

printf("Enter any integer number : ");
scanf("%d",&num);

fact[0]=1;

factorialof(num);

printf("Factorial is : ");
for(i=length;i>=0;i--){
printf("%d",fact[i]);
}

return 0;
}
void factorialof(int num){
int i;
for(i=2;i<=num;i++){
multiply(i);
}
}
void multiply(int num){
long i,r=0;
int arr[MAX];
for(i=0;i<=length;i++){
arr[i]=fact[i];
}

for(i=0;i<=length;i++){
fact[i] = (arr[i]*num + r)%10;
r = (arr[i]*num + r)/10;
//printf("%d ",r);
}
if(r!=0){
while(r!=0){
fact[i]=r%10;
r= r/10;
i++;
}
}
length = i-1;
}


Example:
100! = 93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381
62146859296389521759999322991560894146397615651828
62536979208272237582511852109168640000000000000000

great..................

what if we entered 0?

Priyanka kumari said...

Factorial of zero is one.

what is the program to find out the sum of 1!+2!+3!+......................+n!
where(n<=0)

Anonymous said...

i didnt get the logic of this program!!! according to the above program, the value of n will go on decreasing and atlast become 1... but when n=1, the program should return 1..(?)i am a mere beginner... please "enlighten" me... why is it printing value of "return(n*fact(n-1))" and not "return(1)"???

abhi said...

@ anonymous plz read dis part of the code

if(n==1)
return 1;
i think it answers ur question

tachandaliya said...

x/1! - x3/3! + x5/5! not use pow() in x,x3......

#include
main()
{
int i,n,f=1; /*n is the number of which fact. is to be calculated*/
printf("enter the number");
scanf("%d",&n);
for (i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
f=f*i;
}
printf("the factorial of the number is %d",n);
}

There is no prototype declaration in the program N u have used the fact() in the body of the program. Sweety.Mca 1st sem.KIIT.Bhubneshwar.

Priyanka kumari said...

If return type of any function is int then declaration of prototype of function is optional.

Anonymous said...

well thats great but they will be error you have error prototype

Anonymous said...

hey there us one mistake in your program before return 0;
use getch();
also because when we enter the number and press enter then it is going back to the command mode

Anonymous said...

can someone use only and list container to perform a list of prime number? without using for, do and while loop....anyone?

Anonymous said...

#include
#include
voidmain()
{
int i,num,fact=1;
clrscr();
printf("accept a num");
scanf("%d",&num);
for(i=1;i<=num:i++)
{
fact=fact*i;
}
printf("fact=%d",fact);
getch();
}

Anonymous said...

the answer =1;

:D

Unknown said...

hello! i have a question regarding to what happens when the statement is "return(n*fact(n-1));"
like what is it that d return function do ...... does it go through a repeated process or smthing like that
?

Anonymous said...

how to create a functin which returns power? plz lemme know asap......

Anonymous said...

how can b gentrate the output of factorial of a number by using only for loop??? like when we enter 4 the output will b 24.

Nice program admin you website is awesome for new programmers.

I AM IN FAME said...

are bhai factorial ka program galat hai upar jaha n==1 hai waha n==0 hoga ok sahi karle usko

i need "write a c program to find sum of 1!+2!+3!...n!"

Anonymous said...

no you did not

Unknown said...

thank u ritesh kumar ur programs always help me a lot during these college days. thank u once again

Unknown said...

This isn't recursion anymore

Unknown said...

your code is didn't clear but this code is easy to under stand
#include
using namespace std;
int fuct(int);
int main()
{
int n;
cout<<"enter the number of fuctorial=";
cin>>n;
fuct(n);
return 0;
}
int fuct(int x)
{
if(x==0)
return 1;
else
return x*fuct(x-1);
}

plzzz..i want oop conseptconsept..
