factorial()
Calculates the factorial of a number.
Use recursion.
If num
is less than or equal to 1
, return 1
.
Otherwise, return the product of num
and the factorial of num - 1
.
Throws an exception if num
is a negative or a floating point number.
def factorial(num):
if not ((num >= 0) and (num % 1 == 0)):
raise Exception("Number can't be floating point or negative.")
return 1 if num == 0 else num * factorial(num - 1)
factorial(6) # 720
