Vlastimil,
Thank you so much, but...
All that is Chinese for me.
Can you show a 'normal' Python code for me?

Hi, newbie here!
I'm trying to write a python program to find how many trailing zeros are
in 100! (factorial of 100).
I used factorial from the math module, but my efforts to continue
failed. Please help.

Thank you,
Yehuda

Hi,
rather an illustration of the available tools in python, than a
(submittable) solution:

import re, math
len(re.search(r"0*$", str(math.factorial(100))).group())
24
[or the same code on more lines with some indentation - if it is
preserved via e-mail]
len(
...     re.search(
...         r"0*$",
...         str(
...             math.factorial(100)
...             )
...         ).group()
...     )
24


I.e. You need the length of the string resulting as the match of the
regular expression search for a pattern representing zero or more "0"
at the end of the input text, which is the string version of 100!

Of course, there are other ways to get this result :-)

regards,
     vbr


I'll explain it if you stop top posting.
