Dear Tomasz,

You have to calculate n! , any way. This will cause integer overflow. But
any way if you cheat the def factorial to be fp as follows;

def fac(n):
   if n == 1. then
       return 1.
   return n*fac(n-1.)

It works, but I don't like this way. Smalltalk can perform this calculation
very fast without losing its significance.
