# --description--
|
|
|
|
Write a function to return the factorial of a number.
|
|
|
|
Factorial of a number is given by:
|
|
|
|
<pre><big>n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2) * ..... * 1</big>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
**Note:** `0! = 1`
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`factorial` should be a function.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof factorial === 'function');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`factorial(2)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof factorial(2) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`factorial(3)` should return 6.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(factorial(3), 6);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`factorial(5)` should return 120.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(factorial(5), 120);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`factorial(10)` should return 3,628,800.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.equal(factorial(10), 3628800);
|
|
```

```js
|

function factorial(n) {
|
|
let sum = 1;
|
|
while (n > 1) {
|
|
