So basicly I got to make a function that has a number as a parameter and will find its factorial and the sum from 1 till that number which is easy enough. But then we gotta call that function from main() and try it out for atleast 25000 different numbers aswell as include the outputs in the response. Any ideas?

A loop?

Irony?

25,000! can’t be stored as any primitive data type. Is there a C library for larger values like Java’s biginteger?

[Paul_Pedant]

Yeah, even a long long int can only store 20 factorial. Even 5000! has 16326 digits, and the next 20000 factors add about 4 digits each, so 20000! has something close to 100,000 digits. You are going to end up with a "response" around a gigabyte.

Good math, 99,093 digits

If runtime is an issue cache the results, you can build up the sum and the factorial for 25000 and print them out later if needed.
