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

What I wrote and the context it makes sense.

Yea, reading my message back I was unnecessarily harsh. But my math checks out.
Sorry, I had a bad day…
