Factorial code

A factorial is a mathematical operation typically denoted by an exclamation mark (!), which multiplies a given positive integer by all positive integers below it down to 1. For example, the factorial of 5 (written as 5!) is calculated as: \[ 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120 \] Factorial code usually refers to programming implementations that calculate the factorial of a number.
