Welcome to the Factorial in Javascript page! Here, you’ll find the source code for this program as well as a description of how the program works.
/**
* Calculate the factorial of a given integer input.
*
* @param {Integer} num
*/
function factorial(num) {
let product = 1;
if ( num > 1 ) {
for ( let i = 2; i <= num; i++ ) {
product *= i
}
}
return product
}
/**
* Executable function
*
* @param {Command line input} input
*/
function main(input) {
// Usage text
const usage = 'Usage: please input a non-negative integer';
// No input
if ( !input ) {
console.log(usage)
return
}
/**
* If we remove all the integer characters from the input and are left with
* an empty string, then we have a valid integer.
*/
const inputValidation = input.replace(/[0-9]/g,'')
if ( inputValidation === '' ) {
// Valid integer
const parsedInput = parseInt(input)
if ( parsedInput < 0 ) {
console.log(usage)
}
else if ( parsedInput > 170 ) {
console.log(`Input of ${parsedInput} is too large to calculate a factorial for. Max input is 170.`)
}
else {
console.log(factorial(parsedInput))
}
}
else {
// Anything non integer
console.log(usage)
}
}
// Run the executable function
const input = process.argv[2]
main(input)
