To accept a number from the user and display its factorial using the While loop.
(The factorial of a positive number is the product of all numbers from 1 to the number. For
example, the factorial of 5 is 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 = 120)
1. Type the code as shown in the image in the Python Editor.

2. Press the F5 key to execute the code. Sample outputs of the program are given below.

JUMP STATEMENTS IN A LOOP IN PYTHON
Sometimes, we may need to end a loop prematurely, earlier than the logical termination of the loop.
We may also need to execute the loop from the start without executing a few statements. Python
provides two statements – Break and Continue, for this purpose. These are called Jump statements
as they let the execution control jump to a specific position in the program.

The Break Statement
The Break statement is used to terminate a loop and transfer the execution control to the statement
outside the body of the loop.
