// Java for Engineers
//Filename: BigIFact
//Reference: Chapter 22
//Description:
// Demonstration of high-precision integer arithmetic
// with the BigInteger class. Program calculates the
// factorial of a big integer number
//Requires:
// Keyin class in current directory
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class BigIFact {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int v; // Input
BigInteger p = BigInteger.valueOf(1); // Factor
System.out.println("Big integer factorial routine\n");
v = Keyin.inInt("Enter value: ");
// Calculate factorial by iteration
for (int i = 1; i <= v; i++)
p = p.multiply(BigInteger.valueOf(i));
// Display result
System.out.println(p);
}
