Python Program for factorial of a number

Factorial of a non-negative integer, is multiplication of all integers smaller than or equal to n. For example factorial of 6 is 6*5*4*3*2*1 which is 720.

factorial

Recursive :

# Python 3 program to find  
# factorial of given number 
def factorial(n): 
      
    # single line to find factorial 
    return 1 if (n==1 or n==0) else n * factorial(n - 1);  
  
# Driver Code 
num = 5; 
print("Factorial of",num,"is", 
factorial(num))

Iterative:

# Python 3 program to find   
# factorial of given number 
def factorial(n): 
      
    # single line to find factorial 
    return 1 if (n==1 or n==0) else n * factorial(n - 1);  
  
# Driver Code 
num = 5; 
print("Factorial of",num,"is", 
factorial(num))

One line Solution (Using Ternary operator):

# Python 3 program to find 
# factorial of given number 
  
def factorial(n): 
  
    # single line to find factorial 
    return 1 if (n==1 or n==0) else n * factorial(n - 1)  
  
  
# Driver Code 
num = 5
print ("Factorial of",num,"is", 
      factorial(num)) 
  
# This code is contributed 
# by Smitha Dinesh Semwal.
