algorithm for factorial in python

def factorial(n):
	for x in range(n-1,0,-1):
		n = n*x
	if n == 0: return 1
	if n < 0 : return False
	return n
  
factorial(5) # returns 120

####### lambda Factorial ########

factorial = lambda n: n*factorial(n-1) if n > 0 else 1
#OR
factorial = lambda n: n>0 and n*factorial(n-1) or 1

######### Recursion ##########
def factorial(n):
	if n <= 0: return 1
    else: return n * factorial(n-1)
