so wait... did you make an answer to this that runs in n! time?

| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:46 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | @tuskiomi the Cartesian power would result in a list of 23!^4 lists. It will run out of time (60s limit on TIO) if not memory. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:46 | comment | added | Erik the Outgolfer | @tuskiomi TIO has limits ;-) but I think it works theoretically. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:42 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | @tuskiomi The footer is just formatting the list output for clarity... as a full program (rather than as a function) the code will print Jelly's format of a list (nothing for empty & no enclosing [] for lists of length 1). | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:40 | comment | added | tuskiomi | If you don't mind, why didn't you count the footer? ("ÇŒṘ") | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:01 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | Seems clear enough to me - we are not required to use it, but can do so if we want. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 21:00 | comment | added | Erik the Outgolfer | Well, tbf, I'm not really clear on you aren't required to use more than one factorial symbol per number... | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 20:58 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | It is entirely optional, and I have decided to only ever use a single factorial. ("Factorial notation is a must, but you aren't required to use more than one factorial symbol per number.") | |

I think inputs such as 125! (written in string notation) should result in outputs such as 5!!. Would this be theoretically supported (e.g. [[5]] instead of [125] as output)?
