Factorial in INTERCAL

Example for versions J-INTERCAL 0.11, J-INTERCAL 0.12, c-intercal 28.0

This example uses iterative factorial definition. The looping part is similar to Fibonacci example, the body differs, but only a little bit. Note usage of : prefix for variables instead of . — the former means 32-bit variables, and the latter — 16-bit ones. The output looks as follows (numbers go in pairs, n and n!, and each number takes two lines to be written):

C-INTERCAL uses Roman notation, in which a bar over a numeral multiplies its value by 1000, and writing a letter in lowercase multiplies its value by 1000000.
