;;; factorial.asm: A program that generates the factorials of each
;;;  number from 1 to 20.  Using the registers to store `n` and `n!`.

  ;; Constants
  ;; Choice of 20 was not arbitrary; log(20!) ~= 61 while log(21!) ~=
  ;; 65 which means that past 20! results are truncated and therefore
  ;; the program produces inaccurate factorials.

  %const(limit) 20 %end
