Write a C++ function factorial that takes an integer, n, and returns the value of n factorial (a.k.a., n!): When n is positive, n! = 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * n.  For example, 5! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120. When n is zero, n! is defined to be 1. When n is negative, n! is undefined. You may assume that the parameter n will not be negative for this problem.
