Find the factorial of a number in c

C program to find factorial of a number

Algorithm

Input: Input a number
output: Find and displays factorial of a number

  1. Start
  2. Input a numbers say n to find factorial
  3. sum = 1
  4. for (int i = 1; i<= n; i++)
    4.1 sum = sum * i
  5. print sum
  6. stop

C Program

#include <stdio.h>
int main( )
{
int n,sum = 1;
printf("Enter a number to find the factorial: ");
scanf("%d", &n);
for(int i = 1; i <= n ; i++) {
     sum = sum * i;
     }
printf("The factorial of %d is %d", n , sum);
}
