Java - Factorial of a Number With out using Recursion

---

We can write a program to find the factorial of a given number using recursion and with out using recursion.

4! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 = 24
5! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120  or (5 * 4!)
6! means = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 = 720 or (6 * 5!)

Recursion meaning the function calls itself.

import java.io.*;

 

 

class Facotorial_NoRecursive {

 

      public static long Fact(long n)

      {

            long result = 1;

            for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)

                  result = result * i;

            return result;

      }

 

    public static void main(String[] args) {

 

            String inpstring = "";

            InputStreamReader input = new InputStreamReader(System.in);

            BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(input);

 

            try

            {

                  System.out.print("Enter a Number to Find Factorial:");

                  inpstring = reader.readLine();

 

                  long n = Long.parseLong(inpstring);

 

                  long result = Fact(n);

                 

                  System.out.println("Facorial of " + n + " is " + result);

            }

            catch (Exception e)

            {

                  e.printStackTrace();

            }

    }

}
