+1 for all of this, with a couple trivial nitpicks about the error changes: * I'd have written the error as "factorial of a negative number is undefined" ... not sure what a grammar stickler would say about it, but that seems more natural to me. * I'd leave the "if (num <= 1)" test after the error check as-is; it's probably a shade cheaper than "if (num == 0 || num == 1)". regards, tom lane
