Does anyone know how could I change this code for it to to calculate the factorial of a number?

print( "Done" )

Answer 2

You want to actually save the accumulating values somewhere, say initialize product = 1 before the loop and then inside the loop have product *= i, then print product after the loop.
Changing nothing else but that, your code would give you 4!

I would use a for loop to save one step. And if you know about recursion, one would often approach the problem in that manner.
