finding factorial of asum of two numbers

  Code:

    def add(a,b):
      c=a+b
      print c
      x=c
      def factorial(x):
       fact=1
       while x>0:
        fact=fact*x
        x=x-1
      return fact


here is my code and i am confused.
actually first i want to add two numbers and then i want to find factorial of sum of two numbers.but i m not getting the result.


Any ideas why?
Help would be greatly appreciated.

actually first i want to add two numbers and then i want to find factorial of sum of two numbers.

Probably better to break these up into component pieces:

  Code:

def add(a,b):
    c = a + b
    return c

def factorial(x):
    fact=1
    while x>0:
        fact=fact*x
    return fact


Once we do that, we can check to see if the functions actually do what they should do:

  Code:

print "Add:", add(1,2)
print "Fact:", factorial(3)


We see the "3" is printed from add, but we never see the factorial function finish. This is because of an infinite loop in factorial(), see if you can find it
If you can't, I'll point it out
