minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIn case anyone wondering factorial is n! = n * n-1 * n-2 * … * 3 * 2 * 1
minus-squareweker01@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month 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-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI wrote it correctly. It is the definition of a factorial.
minus-squareweker01@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month 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-squareweker01@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoYea, reading my message back I was unnecessarily harsh. But my math checks out. Sorry, I had a bad day…
minus-squareJuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoMy high school English teacher still has night terrors about me starting sentences with conjunctions. And that was the least of their problems. Edit: kind of unrelated, but that song about conjunctions is now stuck in my head. 🎶Conjunction junction, what’s your function? 🎶

No worries. It happens
They barely passed me.
