C Program to Calculate Factorial of a number using Recursion

Write a program to calculate the factorial of a number. Use the concept of recursion
instead of using loops.


#include<stdio.h>

main()

{

int a, fact;



printf("\nEnter any number: ");

scanf ("%d", &a);



fact=rec (a);

printf("\nFactorial Value = %d", fact);



}


rec (int x)

{

int f;



if (x==1)

return (1);

else

f=x*rec(x-1);



return (f);

}

char *p;
printf ("Enter String: ");
scanf ("%s", p);
for(i = 1; i <= strlen(p); i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
{
printf ("%c", *(p + j));
}
printf ("\n");

factorial using while :


#include

int main()
{
int num = 0, val = 0, fact = 0;
printf("Enter a non-negative number \n");
scanf("%d", &num);
fact = num;
val = num;
if (num == 0 || num == 1)
{
printf("%d! is 1 \n", num);
}
else
{
while (num > 2)
{
fact = fact * --num;

}
printf("%d! is %d \n", val, fact);
}
return 0;
}

Here is the program:


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

namespace Factoriel
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
myLabel:
int val1, val2;
double factoriel = 1;
Console.Write("Enter an integer: ");
val1 = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine();
val2 = val1;

if (val1 < 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("The entered value is not valid! \nPlease enter a value greater than zero.");
Console.WriteLine();
goto myLabel;
}

if (val1 == 0 || val1 == 1)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}! = 1", val1);
Console.WriteLine();
goto myLabel;
}

if (val1 > 1)
{
while (val2 > 1)
{
factoriel = factoriel * val2;
val2 = val2 - 1;
}
Console.WriteLine("{0}!= {1} ", val1, factoriel);
Console.WriteLine();
goto myLabel;
}
}

1. Factorial series in c

#include
int main(){
long f=1;
int i,num,min,max;

printf("Enter the minimum range: ");
scanf("%d",&min);

printf("Enter the maximum range: ");
scanf("%d",&max);

printf("Factorial series in given range: ");
for(num=min;num<=max;num++){
f=1;

for(i=1;i<=num;i++)
f=f*i;

printf("%ld ",f);
}

return 0;
}

Sample output:
Enter the minimum range: 1
Enter the maximum range: 10
Factorial series in given range: 1 2 6 24 120 720 5040 40320 362880 3628800

Actually , the given program will not run as far as I could understand , for a simple reason that, they have not made a global declaration for the function definition they have used , i.e rec (int x) . So, if we include the same , we can get to a potential answer that will be correct . You can please try this out if you find error which possibly will come during compilation . Sample code for global declaration will be :
#include
#include
rec ( int a) ;
void main()
:
:
:
getch()
}
rec (int x)
{
:
:
:
}
