## Description
<section id='description'> 
<p> Escribe una función para devolver el factorial de un número. </p> 
<p> El factorial de un número viene dado por: </p> 
n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ..... * 1 
<p> 
Por ejemplo: 
3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 
4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24 
</p> 
<p> Nota: 
0! = 1

```yml
tests:
  - text: <code>factorial</code> es una función.
    testString: 'assert(typeof factorial === "function", "<code>factorial</code> is a function.");'
  - text: <code>factorial(2)</code> debe devolver un número.
    testString: 'assert(typeof factorial(2) === "number", "<code>factorial(2)</code> should return a number.");'
  - text: <code>factorial(3)</code> debe devolver 6. &quot;)
    testString: 'assert.equal(factorial(3),results[0],"<code>factorial(3)</code> should return 6.");'
  - text: <code>factorial(3)</code> debe devolver 120. &quot;)
    testString: 'assert.equal(factorial(5),results[1],"<code>factorial(3)</code> should return 120.");'
  - text: &#39; <code>factorial(3)</code> debe devolver 3,628,800. &quot;)&#39;
    testString: 'assert.equal(factorial(10),results[2],"<code>factorial(3)</code> should return 3,628,800.");'
