[Tutor] Simple factorial program

[vince spicer]

did you declare factorial before trying to use it?

factorial = 1
print "Factorial finder"
number = int(input("Please enter a non-negative integer: "))
for number in range(number, 1)
    factorial = (factorial * number)

print "Factorial:", factorial
