   The factorial of   0   (zero)   is defined as being   1   (unity).
   The   Factorial Function   of a positive integer,    n,    is defined as the product of the sequence:
                 n,   n-1,   n-2,   ...   1

Write a function to return the factorial of a number.

Solutions can be iterative or recursive.

Support for trapping negative    n    errors is optional.
