# --description--

Given an integer from zero to 20, return the factorial of that number. The factorial of a number is the product of all the numbers between 1 and the given number.

- The factorial of zero is 1.

# --hints--

`factorial(0)` should return `1`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(factorial(0), 1)`)
}})
```

`factorial(5)` should return `120`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(factorial(5), 120)`)
}})
```

`factorial(20)` should return `2432902008176640000`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(factorial(20), 2432902008176640000)`)
}})
```

    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        result *= i
