这将适用于正整数的阶乘(尽管是一个非常小的子集):

unsigned long factorial(unsigned long f)
{
    if ( f == 0 ) 
        return 1;
    return(f * factorial(f - 1));
}

printf("%i", factorial(5));

由于您的问题的性质(以及您承认的级别),此解决方案更多地基于解决此问题的概念,而不是将在下一个“置换引擎”中使用的功能。

这会计算非负整数 [*] 的阶乘,最高可达 ULONG_MAX,它的位数太多,以至于您的机器不太可能存储更多,即使它有时间计算它们。使用需要链接的 GNU 多精度库。

#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gmp.h>

void factorial(mpz_t result, unsigned long input) {
    mpz_set_ui(result, 1);
    while (input > 1) {
        mpz_mul_ui(result, result, input--);
    }
}

int main() {
    mpz_t fact;
    unsigned long input = 0;
    char *buf;

    mpz_init(fact);
    scanf("%lu", &input);
    factorial(fact, input);

    buf = malloc(mpz_sizeinbase(fact, 10) + 1);
    assert(buf);
    mpz_get_str(buf, 10, fact);
    printf("%s\n", buf);

    free(buf);
    mpz_clear(fact);
}

示例输出:

$ make factorial CFLAGS="-L/bin/ -lcyggmp-3 -pedantic" -B && ./factorial
cc -L/bin/ -lcyggmp-3 -pedantic    factorial.c   -o factorial

[*] 如果你用“数字”表示别的意思,那么你必须更具体。我不知道任何其他定义了阶乘的数字,尽管 Pascal 通过使用 Gamma 函数来扩展域做出了英勇的努力。

当您可以在 Haskell中执行时,为什么要在 C 中执行:

大一 Haskell 程序员

fac n = if n == 0 
           then 1
           else n * fac (n-1)

麻省理工学院的二年级 Haskell 程序员(大一时学习了 Scheme)

fac = (\(n) ->
        (if ((==) n 0)
            then 1
            else ((*) n (fac ((-) n 1)))))

初级 Haskell 程序员(Peano 初学者)

fac  0    =  1
fac (n+1) = (n+1) * fac n

另一位初级 Haskell 程序员(读到 n+k 模式是“Haskell 的一个令人作呕的部分” 1并加入了“禁止 n+k 模式”运动 [2])

fac 0 = 1
fac n = n * fac (n-1)

高级 Haskell 程序员(投票给尼克松·布坎南·布什——“偏右”)

fac n = foldr (*) 1 [1..n]

另一位 Haskell 高级程序员(投票给 McGovern Biafra
Nader——“偏左”)

fac n = foldl (*) 1 [1..n]

又一位高级 Haskell 程序员(靠得很靠右,他又回到了左边!)

-- using foldr to simulate foldl

fac n = foldr (\x g n -> g (x*n)) id [1..n] 1

记忆 Haskell 程序员(每天服用银杏叶)

facs = scanl (*) 1 [1..]

fac n = facs !! n

Pointless (ahem) “Points-free” Haskell 程序员(在牛津学习)

fac = foldr (*) 1 . enumFromTo 1

迭代 Haskell 程序员(前 Pascal 程序员)

fac n = result (for init next done)
        where init = (0,1)
              next   (i,m) = (i+1, m * (i+1))
              done   (i,_) = i==n
              result (_,m) = m

for i n d = until d n i

迭代单行 Haskell 程序员(前 APL 和 C 程序员)

fac n = snd (until ((>n) . fst) (\(i,m) -> (i+1, i*m)) (1,1))

积累Haskell程序员(建立一个快速的高潮)

facAcc a 0 = a
facAcc a n = facAcc (n*a) (n-1)

fac = facAcc 1

续传 Haskell 程序员(早年养 RABBITS,后移居新泽西)

facCps k 0 = k 1
facCps k n = facCps (k . (n *)) (n-1)

fac = facCps id

童子军 Haskell 程序员(喜欢打结;总是“虔诚”,他属于最小定点教会 [8])

y f = f (y f)

fac = y (\f n -> if (n==0) then 1 else n * f (n-1))

组合 Haskell 程序员(避开变量,如果不是混淆的话;所有这些柯里化只是一个阶段,尽管它很少阻碍)

s f g x = f x (g x)

k x y   = x

b f g x = f (g x)

c f g x = f x g

y f     = f (y f)

cond p f g x = if p x then f x else g x

fac  = y (b (cond ((==) 0) (k 1)) (b (s (*)) (c b pred)))

列表编码 Haskell 程序员(喜欢一元计数)

arb = ()    -- "undefined" is also a good RHS, as is "arb" :)

listenc n = replicate n arb
listprj f = length . f . listenc

listprod xs ys = [ i (x,y) | x<-xs, y<-ys ]
                 where i _ = arb

facl []         = listenc  1
facl n@(_:pred) = listprod n (facl pred)

fac = listprj facl

在 C99(或 Java)中,我会像这样迭代地编写阶乘函数:

int factorial(int n)
{
    int result = 1;
    for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++)
    {
        result *= i;
    }
    return result;
}
  • C 不是函数式语言,您不能依赖尾调用优化。因此,除非需要,否则不要在 C(或 Java)中使用递归。

  • 仅仅因为阶乘经常用作递归的第一个示例,并不意味着您需要递归来计算它。

  • 如果 n 太大,这将静默溢出,就像 C(和 Java)中的自定义一样。

  • 如果 int 可以表示的数字对于您要计算的阶乘而言太小,则选择另一种数字类型。long long 如果它需要稍微大一点,float 或 double 如果 n 不是太大并且你不介意一些不精确,或者如果你想要真正大阶乘的确切值,则使用大整数。

对于大数,您可能可以使用一个近似解,tgamma从 math.h 中得到 (n! = Gamma(n+1))。如果您想要更大的数字,它们将不适合双精度数,因此您应该改用lgamma(伽玛函数的自然对数)。

如果您在没有完整 C99 math.h 的地方工作,您可以轻松地自己做这种事情:

double logfactorial(int n) {
  double fac = 0.0;
  for ( ; n>1 ; n--) fac += log(fac);
  return fac;

我认为在大多数情况下我不会使用它,但是一种越来越不广泛使用的众所周知的做法是使用查找表。如果我们只使用内置类型,那么内存命中很小。

只是另一种方法,让海报意识到不同的技术。许多递归解决方案也可以被记忆,在算法运行时填充查找表,从而大大降低未来调用的成本(我猜有点像 .NET JIT 编译背后的原理)。

您使用以下代码来执行此操作。

   if(number<0)
   {
      printf("Factorial not defined for negative numbers.\n");
      exit(0);
   }

   for(x = 1; x <= number; x++)
   {
      if (number >= 0)
         fac = fac * x;
      else
         fac=1;
   }

   printf("%d! = %d\n", number, fac);

最简单和最有效的方法是对数求和。如果您使用Log10,您将获得幂和指数。

伪代码

r=0
for i from 1 to n
    r= r + log(i)/log(10)

print "result is:", 10^(r-floor(r)) ,"*10^" , floor(r)

您可能需要添加代码,以便整数部分不会增加太多从而降低准确性,但即使是非常大的阶乘,结果也应该没问题。

简单的解决方案:

unsigned int factorial(unsigned int n)
{
   return (n == 1 || n == 0) ? 1 : factorial(n - 1) * n;
}

我会按照Boy 先生的建议使用预先计算的查找表来执行此操作。这将比迭代或递归解决方案更快地计算。它取决于n!增长的速度,因为在n!不溢出的情况下您可以计算的unsigned long long最大值(最大值为 18,446,744,073,709,551,615)仅为20!,因此您只需要一个包含 21 个元素的数组。这是它在 c 中的样子:

long long factorial (int n) {
    long long f[22] = {1, 1, 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40320, 362880, 3628800, 39916800, 479001600, 6227020800, 87178291200, 1307674368000, 20922789888000, 355687428096000, 6402373705728000, 121645100408832000, 2432902008176640000, 51090942171709440000};
    return f[n]; 
}

你自己看!

我将此代码用于阶乘:

#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
  int i=1,f=1,n;

  printf("\n\nEnter a number: ");
  scanf("%d",&n);
  while(i<=n){
      f=f*i;
      i++;
  }
  printf("Factorial of is: %d",f);
  getch();
}
