Computer Programmers, I need your help!

[Sizzle]

I'm a first year computer science major, and we are learning the Java programming language. My goal, write a program that gives the factorial of a user inputted number. Ex. 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1, where 6! is read six factorial. I know I need to use a FOR loop to accomplish this but I think I also need to use IF and ELSE statements as well. If anyone could gimme a hint or two, that would be greatly appreciated.

AltF4:

Here ya go, might have some syntax errors or something, but this is pretty much it:

Iteratively:

public Factorial(int n)
{
int total = n;
n--;

while(n > 1)
{

total *= n;
n--;

}
return total;

}



Recursively:

public Factorial(int n)
{

if(n == 0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return n * Factorial(n-1);
}
}
