Aug 6, 2019 at 16:34 comment added pavi2410 Oh! I thought 0**0 is undefined mathematically which confused me.
Aug 5, 2019 at 18:13 comment added univalence @Pavitra: 00=1, and it's the first thing that evaluates so it gets returned. For any other n, 0n=0, thus the first operand of or is falsey, such that the second operand gets evaluated.

Jan 21, 2017 at 17:51 comment added FlipTack @JackBates that counts as a builtin, as you didn't write the code to compute the factorial.
Jan 19, 2017 at 20:21 comment added user63571 What about math.factorial? It isn't a built-in, is it?
