Java code to calculate factorial of a number

Java code to calculate factorial of a number

In this tutorial, we will discuss the concept of Java code to calculate factorial

Factorial is a product of all positive descending integer begins with a specified number (n) and calculates up to one

There are many ways to calculate factorial using Java language. some of them are described as below.

Example

factorial of 5 is

5!=5*4*3*2*1=120

factorial of 4 is

4!=4*3*2*1=24

factorial of n is

n!=n*(n-1)*....2*1

Find factorial using for loop

import java.util.Scanner;
class FindFactorial1{
    public static void main (String args[]){
    int num,i,factorial=1;//declare variables
    Scanner obj=new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter a number for find factorial: ");
    num=obj.nextInt();//get input from user and stored num variable
    if(num<0){//it Checked the number as positive or negative
      System.out.println("Number must be positive: ");
    }//if it is true, displays this error message
    else{
      for(i=1; i<=num; i++){//iterates the for loop to find factorial from 1 to num
      factorial=factorial*i;
      
      }
      System.out.println("Factorial of "+num+ " is "+factorial);
    }
    }
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following results

Factorial of 5 is 120

This program intakes  input (positive integer) from the user and calculates the factorial of the given number using Forloop and displays the result.

Find factorial using the while loop

import java.util.Scanner;
class FindFactorial2{
    public static void main (String args[]){
    int num,i,factorial=1;//declare variables
    Scanner obj=new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter a number for find factorial: ");
    num=obj.nextInt();//takes input from user 
    if(num<0){
      System.out.println("Number must be positive: ");
    }
    else{
        i=1; 
      while(i<=num){
      factorial=factorial*i;
       i++;
      }
      System.out.println("Factorial of "+num+ " is "+factorial);
    }
    }
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following results

Factorial of 5 is 720

This program takes input (positive integer) from the user and calculates the factorial of the given number using While loop and displays the result.

Find factorial using the do-while loop

import java.util.Scanner;
class FindFactDoWhile{
public static void main(String args[]){
int n, fact=1;
Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number for find factorial");

n=scan.nextInt();
int i=1;
do
{
    fact=fact*i;
    i++;
}while(i<=n);
System.out.println("number "+n+" factorial is : "+fact);

}


}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following results

Factorial of 7 is 5040

This program takes  input (positive integer) from the user and calculates the factorial of the given number using Do-while loop and displays the result.

Factorial program using  Java recursion

class FactRecursion{

public static void main(String args[]){
FactRecursion obj=new FactRecursion();

System.out.println(obj.factNum(5));

}
public static int factNum(int n){
if(n<=1){
return 1;
}
else{
return(n*factNum(n-1));
}
}
}

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following results

120
