This won't compile:

k=n*fact(n-1);

should be

k=n*facto(n-1);

After making that change, seems to work fine..

enter the number for which you want to find the factorial
7
the factorial of yhe number 7 is 5040

(Be careful though factorials get large very quickly and you have a risk of blowing out the size of an integer, etc.)

NO - void main is bad! At least use the signature int main() or int main(void) at the very least.

Damn! I didn't realise this thread was started 4 friggin' years ago.
Thanks a lot ##k.k## - why did you "revive" a thread from 4 years ago that had been answered?

- and void main is still bad!

Sheesh
