Build a Factorial Calculator - Build a Factorial Calculator

Tell us what’s happening:

I’m getting error at tests 7 and 11. But when I put 5 or 7 as parameters, it returns the correct result. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Your code so far

let num = 5;

const factorialCalculator = number => {
  let result = 1;
  for (let i = 1; i <= num ; i++) {
    result *= i;
  }
  return result
}

let factorial = factorialCalculator(num);
let resultMsg = `Factorial of ${num} is ${factorial}`;
console.log(resultMsg);

num = 7;

factorial = factorialCalculator(num);
resultMsg = `Factorial of ${num} is ${factorial}`;
console.log(resultMsg);

@pacheco.ja93

const factorialCalculator = number => {
  let result = 1;
  for (let i = 1; i <= num ; i++) {
    result *= i;
  }
  return result
}

Where is num defined? Why does the function use num and not number?

I was taking the variable declared outside the function. Changed it to the parameter and worked fine. Thanks!
