Why Wrong Answer?

general

Pls take a look at my program for Small Factorials, it shows Wrong Answer and I dont know why?

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{int i,n,l,fact[100],t;

scanf("%d",&t);

if(t>=1&&t<=100)

{for(l=0;l<100;l++)

{fact[l]=1;}

l=0;

while(t>0)

{scanf("%d",&n);

if(n>=1&&n<=100)

{for(i=n;i>0;i–)

{fact[l]=fact[l]*i;}

printf("%d\n",fact[l]);

l++;

t–;

}}}

return 0;

}

The logic to compute factorial is correct. However you need to realize that the values of factorials grows very fast and 100! is very very big :

This value cannot fit in the normal int or even long long data type in C or C++.There are 2 alternatives to solve this:

  1. Use a language like Java or Python with inbuilt support to handle large numbers

2)Store the individual digits of the number in an array and perform operations on this array. Here is a wonderful tutorial by @kurma on this which explains how to handle large numbers in C and C++.Good luck
