I'm trying to write a simple factorial program and am unsure at what is
wrong with it. Why Can't I go *factorial = factorial * number* where
factorial and number are both integers?
#Factorial program
print "Factorial finder"
number = input("Please enter a non-negative integer: "
for number in range(number, 1)
factorial = (factorial * number)
print "Factorial:", factorial
Another way to approach this is using reduce:
from operator import mul
number = input("Please enter a non-negative integer: ")
factorial = reduce(mul,range(1,number+1),1)
