how to use factorial in c programming code example

Example 1: factorial in c++

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int fact(int i){
	if (i <= 1) return 1;
  	else return i*fact(i-1);
}

int main(){
  	ios::sync_with_stdio(0);
  	cin.tie(0);
  	int N;
  	cin >> N;
  	cout << fact(N) << "\n";
  	return 0;
}

Example 2: factorial of a given number in c

//Factorial of a given number
#include <stdio.h>

//This function returns factorial of the number passed to it 
long int factorialOf(int number){
    long int factorial = 1;
    while(number){
        factorial*=number;
        number-=1;
    }
    return factorial;
}

int main(void) {
	int n;
	printf("Find factorial of \n");
	scanf("%d",&n);
	printf("\nThe factorial of %d is %ld",n,factorialOf(n));
	return 0;
}
