Hello FCC campers, well i have question !!
As factorial of 1 equals 1, can we use factorial 1 as base condition instead of factorial 0 ?
initialise some variable with 1
lets say
fact = 1
then your code.

Can you be more clear please xD i didn’t understand !!
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
factorial = 1
if num < 0:
print(“factorial can not be calclated”)
elif num == 0:
print(“The factorial of 0 is 1”)
else:
for i in range(1,num + 1):
factorial = factorial*i
print(“The factorial of”,num,“is”,factorial)
Hope this help!!

Thank you it’s more clear !!!
Thank you for the answer !!
remember that
factorial(0) can be passed
if you use as base case num === 1 how do you deal when num is equal to 0?
never just use equality, there are “equal or less than” and “equal or more than” that will help prevent bugs
