Create list of factorials using list comprehension

Question

I\'m trying to build a list of the first ten factorials

[1,1,2,6,24,120,720,5040,40320,362880]

using only list comprehension. Is that possible

Answer 1

Your attempt does not work because the list comprehension works element-wise, you cannot refer to lst[i-1] like that. There is a factorial function in math module, however, since you mentioned generators, you can use one like this

def mygenerator():
    total = 1
    current = 1
    while True:
        total *= current
        yield total
        current += 1

factorial = mygenerator()
output = [next(factorial) for i in range(10)]
