Stuck on the Factorialize a Number exercise

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, my function returns 0 and I am not quite sure why. Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

Your code so far

function factorialize(num) {
  if (num===0) {
    return 1;
  }
  
  var numbers = [];
  var factorial = 0;
  for (i=num; i>0; i--) {
    numbers.push(num);
    num--;
  }
  
  
  for (i=0; i<numbers.length-1; i++) {
    factorial *= (numbers[i] * numbers[i+1]);
  }
  
  return factorial;
}

factorialize(5);

Thanks @camperextraordinaire! I was so busy trying to figure out the line you referenced that I completely overlooked the the initial value I set for the factorial value to be.

I solved it now and can finally keep moving :slight_smile:
