> JAVA中文手册 > Java 实例 – 阶乘

一个正整数的阶乘(英语:factorial)是所有小于及等于该数的正整数的积,并且有0的阶乘为1。自然数n的阶乘写作n!。

亦即n!=1×2×3×...×n。阶乘亦可以递归方式定义:0!=1,n!=(n-1)!×n。

以下实例演示了 Java 阶乘代码的实现:

/*

 MainClass.java
 */
public class MainClass {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
      for (int counter = 0; counter <= 10; counter++){
         System.out.printf("%d! = %d\n", counter,
         factorial(counter));
      }
   }
   public static long factorial(long number) {
      if (number <= 1)
         return 1;
      else
         return number * factorial(number - 1);
   }
}

以上代码运行输出结果为:

0! = 1
1! = 1
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
5! = 120
6! = 720
7! = 5040
8! = 40320
9! = 362880
10! = 3628800
