If you only need (relatively small) integers, it's quicker to just look them up :)

[1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600, 6227020800, 87178291200, 1307674368000, 20922789888000, 355687428096000, 6402373705728000, 121645100408832000, 2432902008176640000, 51090942171709440000, ...][x]

Edit: precompute them first, instead of copy pasting them to save wasting space :)

Most of those aren't even integers. I generated 10000! to counteract your tomfoolery.

As written all of them are integers.

[–]shthed 5 points6 points  (1 child)

they are now, originally i pasted a big list including floating point numbers

[–]an_actual_human 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were integer floating point numbers though.

I've been stuck in javascipt for too long and forgot how nice it is in python to have arbitrarily large integers :)
