minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink6•2 months agoIn case anyone wondering factorial is n! = n * n-1 * n-2 * … * 3 * 2 * 1
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoErm. In what world do you live that the precedent in your expression is right? In all languages and countries I know multiplication binds more strongly than addition. So what you wrote would be n^2 - n - 2n - 3n…
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink1•2 months agoI wrote it correctly. It is the definition of a factorial.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoNo, correctly it would be n * (n-1) * (n-2) * … * 3 * 2* 1 Or the actual recursive definition 1! = 1 n! = (n-1)! * n
minus-square@[email protected]OPlinkfedilink2•edit-22 months agoWhat I wrote and the context it makes sense. E: ohh yeah I see
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agoYea, reading my message back I was unnecessarily harsh. But my math checks out. Sorry, I had a bad day…

No worries. It happens
