Help pls

Step 1. Ask the user to enter a positive integer Step 2. Check if the entered integer is positive or negative. If it is positive perform Step 3, otherwise, display an appropriate error message and the program should stop. Step 3. Calculate the factorial of the entered positive integer and display the result. Note: The factorial of n is denoted by n! and calculated by the product of integer numbers from 1 to n. For example, the entered integer is 5, the calculation of its factorial is: 5! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 = 120. Step 4. Repeat Step 1 to Step 3 five (5) times. 5. Compile and execute the program.

Sounds like some kind of homework, to be honest. Which language? Where is your own attempt on it?

That's interesting. Can you maybe link the program here so we can have a look at it? Without seeing it, it seems you forgot to reset whatever variable holds the result back to 1.
