Different ways to Find Factorial of a Number

factorial of n (n!) = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * ... * n

1. using for loop

FactorialForLoop.java

package runnerdev;

 

import java.util.Scanner;

 

public class FactorialForLoop {

            public static void main(String[] args) {

                        System.out.print("Enter a number for Factorial : ");

                        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

                        int givenNumber = sc.nextInt();

                        long factorial = 1;

                        for (int i = 1; i <= givenNumber; ++i) {

                                    // factorial = factorial * i;

                                    factorial *= i;

                        }

                        System.out.printf("Factorial of %d = %d", givenNumber, factorial);

            }

}

 Out put:

2.  using while loop

FactorialwhileLoop .java

package runnerdev;

 

import java.util.Scanner;

 

public class FactorialwhileLoop {

 

            public static void main(String[] args) {

                        System.out.print("Enter a number for Factorial : ");

                        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

                        int givenNumber = sc.nextInt();

                        int i = 1;

                        long factorial = 1;

                        while (i <= givenNumber) {

                                    factorial *= i;

                                    i++;

                        }

                        System.out.printf("Factorial of %d = %d", givenNumber, factorial);

            }

}

Out put:

3.  using Java8 API

 

java.util.stream.LongStream

 

A sequence of primitive long-valued elements supporting sequential and parallel aggregate operations. This is the long primitive specialization of Stream.

The following example illustrates an aggregate operation using Stream and LongStream, computing the sum of the weights of the red widgets:

long sum = widgets.stream()

                       .filter(w -> w.getColor() == RED)

                       .mapToLong(w -> w.getWeight())

                       .sum();

  

int reduce(int identity,

           IntBinaryOperator op)

Performs a reduction on the elements of this stream, using the provided identity value and an associative accumulation function, and returns the reduced value. This is equivalent to:

     int result = identity;

     for (int element : this stream)

         result = accumulator.applyAsInt(result, element)

     return result;

Java8Factorial.java

package runnerdev;

 

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.util.stream.LongStream;

 

public class Java8Factorial {

 

            public static void main(String[] args) {

                        System.out.print("Enter a number for Factorial : ");

                        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

                        long givenNumber = sc.nextLong();

                        long factorial = factorialStreams(givenNumber);

                        System.out.printf("Factorial of %d = %d", givenNumber, factorial);

            }

 

            static long factorialStreams(long n) {

                        return LongStream.rangeClosed(1, n).reduce(1, (long x, long y) -> x * y);

            }

}

 

Out Put:

Enter a number for Factorial : 5

Factorial of 5 = 120

Go!
