Welcome to the Factorial in Rust page! Here, you'll find the source code for this program as well as a description of how the program works.
// Requirement https://sample-programs.therenegadecoder.com/projects/factorial/
// Accept a number on command line and print it's factorial
// Works till factorial 34, which is 39 digits, ...
use std::env::args;
use std::process::exit;
use std::str::FromStr;
fn usage() -> ! {
println!("Usage: please input a non-negative integer");
exit(0);
}
fn parse_int<T: FromStr>(s: &str) -> Result<T, <T as FromStr>::Err> {
s.trim().parse::<T>()
}
fn main() {
let mut args = args().skip(1);
// confirm positive integer is passed as command-line argument
let mut input_num: u32 = args
.next()
.and_then(|s| parse_int(&s).ok())
.unwrap_or_else(|| usage());
let mut n = input_num as u128;
let mut result = 1;
while n > 0 {
result *= n;
n -= 1;
}
