Inaccurate function

The factorial of 0 is 1, its a small detail but the code doesnt account for it

It is hard to answer because you didn't mention your code. Anyways, this mistake is possible. int factorial (int num) { if (num ==1) return 1; else return n * factorial(n - 1); } I think that you used the above code for factorial function. The least number for which it works is 1 because of the condition (num == 1). If you replace it with (num <= 1), the function works for 0 too.
