    My high school English teacher still has night terrors about me starting sentences with conjunctions. And that was the least of their problems.

  In case anyone wondering factorial is

  n! = n * n-1 * n-2 * … * 3 * 2 * 1

    Erm. In what world do you live that the precedent in your expression is right?

    In all languages and countries I know multiplication binds more strongly than addition. So what you wrote would be

    n^2 - n - 2n - 3n…

      I wrote it correctly. It is the definition of a factorial.

        No, correctly it would be n * (n-1) * (n-2) * … * 3 * 2* 1

        Or the actual recursive definition

        1! = 1

        n! = (n-1)! * n
