We are required to write a JavaScript factorial function that takes the help of another helper function, range().
The range function should prepare a range of numbers from 1 to the input number. Then the main function should run an Array.prototype.reduce() function over the range array to calculate the factorial
Example
The code for this will be −
const range = (start, end) => { const acc = []; for (var i = start; i < end; i++) { acc.push(i); }; return acc; } const factorial = n => { let factors = range(1, Math.abs(n)+1); let res = factors.reduce((acc,val) => { return acc * val; }, 1); if(n < 0){ res *= -1; }; return res; }; console.log(factorial(5));
Output
And the output in the console will be −
