The factorial(int n) method of Guava's IntMath Class returns the product of the first n positive integers, which is n!. Syntax:
public static int factorial(int n)
Parameter: The method accepts only one parameter n which is of integer type and is to be used to find the factorial. Return Value: This method return following values:
  • This method returns 1 if n is 0.
  • This method returns product of the first n positive integers if the result fits in a int.
  • This method returns Integer.MAX_VALUE if the result does not fit in a int.
Exceptions: The method factorial(int n) throws IllegalArgumentException if n is negative. Example 1: Java
// Java code to show implementation of
// factorial(int n) method of Guava's
// IntMath class

import java.math.RoundingMode;
import com.google.common.math.IntMath;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n1 = 10;

        // Using factorial(int n) method of
        // Guava's IntMath class
        int ans1 = IntMath.factorial(n1);

        System.out.println("factorial of "
                           + n1 + " is : "
                           + ans1);

        int n2 = 12;

        // Using factorial(int n) method of
        // Guava's IntMath class
        int ans2 = IntMath.factorial(n2);

        System.out.println("factorial of "
                           + n2 + " is : "
                           + ans2);
    }
}
Output:
factorial of 10 is : 3628800
factorial of 12 is : 479001600
Example 2 : Java
// Java code to show implementation of
// factorial(int n) method of Guava's
// IntMath class
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import com.google.common.math.IntMath;

class GFG {

    static int findFact(int n)
    {
        try {

            // Using factorial(int n) method of
            // Guava's IntMath class
            // This should throw "IllegalArgumentException"
            // as n < 0
            int ans = IntMath.factorial(n);

            // Return the answer
            return ans;
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
            return -1;
        }
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n = -5;

        try {

            // Function calling
            findFact(n);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
Output:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: n (-5) must be >= 0
