Ok, then what have you done, so we can guide you

The help on factorial says "f = factorial(n) returns the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n, where n is a nonnegative integer value." so how can you say that Azzi's answer does not address your issue when right there in the help is an example that is the answer to your question????? Same thing for the for loop - it tells you how to do a for loop and all you have to do is to put one line in the middle of it. It's your homework so he's not going to do 100% of it but it would be hard to give you code that doesn't do 100% for you when the code is so incredibly short.
nFactorial = 1
for i = 1 : n
nFactorial = ..... you do this
end
The for is described in the help like he referred you to, and if I do just a few characters more, then I've done the whole thing for you and you'd be turning in my solution instead of yours.
