This code defines a MATLAB function called myFact
, which calculates the factorial of a given non-negative integer n
.
Breakdown:
-
Input Argument:
n
: The input to the function, presumed to be a non-negative integer.
-
Initialization:
m = 1
: The variablem
is initialized to 1. It will hold the result of the factorial computation.
-
For Loop:
for i = 1:n
iterates over all integers from 1 ton
. For each iteration:m = m * i
: The current value ofm
is multiplied byi
(the loop variable), which progressively computes the factorial.
-
Output:
- The result (
m
) is the factorial ofn
and is returned as the output of the function.
- The result (
Example:
- If
n = 5
:- Iteration 1:
m = 1 * 1 = 1
- Iteration 2:
m = 1 * 2 = 2
- Iteration 3:
m = 2 * 3 = 6
- Iteration 4:
m = 6 * 4 = 24
- Iteration 5:
m = 24 * 5 = 120
- Function returns
120
, which is5!
.
- Iteration 1:
In Summary:
The function myFact(n)
computes and returns the factorial of the input n
, which is defined mathematically as:
[
n! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot \dots \cdot n
]
