I Need A Hlpe To Create A Function That Takes A Single Input Number, And Returns The Factorial Of The Number

[free2000000]

1. Create and store a function that takes a single input number, and returns the factorial of the number.
The factorial of a number n is defined as 1 2 3 : : : (n ???? 1) n. If the input number is negative,
the function should give an error message, and return a value of ????1. Note that the factorial of zero is
1 by definition. You should implement the function in your own way, i.e., do not call a pre-defined
function in PL/SQL.

Try this one:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_FACTORIAL_NUMBER(n integer) RETURN integer IS
 x integer := 1;
 --i integer := 1; -- counter
BEGIN if n < 0 then
 dbms_output.put_line('Error entered negative Number!');
 x := -1;
else
 for i in 1..n loop
   x := i*x;
   --dbms_output.put_line(i||'!= '||x);
 end loop;
end if;
dbms_output.put_line(n||'!= '||x);
RETURN x;
END;
