What about this no map, reduce, mutiplication or even addition
Its truly interative and You will need to interate till infinity if
you want correct answer ;)
def factorial(N):
"""
Increase I ...and go on increasing...
"""
import random
myNumer = range(N)
count = 0
I = 10000 #10**(N+1)
for i in range(I):
bucket = range(N)
number = []
for i in range(N):
k = bucket[ random.randrange(0,len(bucket))]
bucket.remove(k)
number.append(k)
if number == myNumer:
count+=1
return int(I*1.0/count+.5)
