Okay, some of you aren't going to like the over-the-top way I did it, but it was an interesting experience all the same.
Kind regards, Bruce.

Well, not so much as 'over the top' but not a good example of how Euphoria should be used to solve these problems. Your approach is a novelty and not really what I'd recommend to anyone who actually was considering Euphoria for problem solving.

Am I being particularly obtuse? I'd have thought the function would be simply:
function factorial(integer n) atom f f=1 while n do f*=n n-=1 end while return f end function
Putting in it's fewest lines, that is? Or is there a particularly nice Euphorian way to do that?

Hmmmm ... you do make a good case, Derek. I feel a bit embarrassed now.

Hah! Finally, some justification for answering with more than just the bare minimum of code:
