      It always hurts to have a typo in a sentence which is supposed to make you feel smart, doesn't it?

            what about the case of 0! = 1 I think you just ploughed into a stack overflow. :-D

                  Under pressure I probably would have had problems remembering how to do factorial because I haven't done in in like 3 years... That said the last time I did do it, I did it in MIPS Assembly (which could not have been any less fun).

                        My favorite part about the reader comments is how so many of them - confidently - misunderstand the code they're ripping apart. You don't get that much around here. Most of the posters are able to programmatically tie their shoes, so to speak.

                            Hmmm....I wonder if that's the assembly I learned in college. It was so long ago I have no idea! I do remember I was doing Z80 assembly as a hobby and driving the professor nuts with questions totally unrelated to the course :) Cheers! Mark

                              I see that sort of thing almost everytime I read comments about WTFy homework/interview code.
