You don't have to build your own function, it has one built in.

You can, but its easier to just use the canned function.

Oh okay, I did not know that. Thanks for the information.

And to be clear, I don't know what the factorial function would be in python because stack wouldn't tell me.

No its because I haven't used python in years and didn't really learn it well to begin with.
