My daughter is sitting here with an assignment to calculate 20!
I did the obvious:
set p to 1
repeat with i from 1 to 20
set p to i * p
end repeat
p
--> 2.43290200817664E+18
but it's wanted as a whole number (no scientific notation). Any
suggestions? Cobol? used to tolerate really big integers, iirc, but can AS
deal with this?
