| 5) a) Using a byte variable, what is the largest factorial that can | |
| be calculated. A factorial is simply | |
| n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 ... * (n-2) * (n-1) * n | |
| For instance, 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 3! = 6, 4! = 24, 5! = 120 etc.... | |
| b) What would be the largest factorial using short, int, long, float, | |
| double, etc... Use all the primitive data types that you are familiar | |
| with signed as well as unsigned. | |
| Note: I want you to investigate this and the program you | |
| turn in should just print "cout" the final results. You don't know | |
| how to capture errors yet so run each till it overflows then back off by 1. | |
| Don't need the program that tests for this. | |
