Our Objective

To implement a program that finds the factorial of a given number (with initialization error). 

The Theory

Factorial Initialization Error (FIE) is a type of error that occurs when a program incorrectly initializes a variable with a factorial value. This can lead to unexpected results and can be difficult to debug.

The following are some of the possible causes of FIE:

• Incorrectly setting the initial value of a variable to a factorial value.
• Using an incorrect formula to calculate a factorial value.
• Not accounting for the factorial of 0.
• Not properly handling overflow errors when calculating a factorial.
• Not accounting for the factorial of negative numbers.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand what a factorial initialization error is and how to identify it.
• Learn the different ways to debug a factorial initialization error.
• Develop a strategy for resolving a factorial initialization error.
• Create a plan for avoiding factorial initialization errors in the future.
• Be able to explain the concept of a factorial initialization error to others.
