java int范围计算,使用Java 8 IntStream计算阶乘?

I am relatively new in Java 8 and lambda expressions as well as Stream, i can calculate factorial using for loop or recursion. But is there a way to use IntStream to calculate factorial of a number ? I am fine even with factorial in integer range.

I read through IntStream docs here, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/stream/IntStream.html and i can see so many methods but not sure which one I can use to calculate factorial.

for example, there is rang method that says,

range(int startInclusive, int endExclusive) Returns a sequential

ordered IntStream from startInclusive (inclusive) to endExclusive

(exclusive) by an incremental step of 1.

so I can use it to provide the range of numbers to IntStream to be multiplied to calculate factorial.

number = 5;

IntStream.range(1, number)

but how to multiply those numbers to get the factorial ?

You can use IntStream::reduce for this job,

int number = 5;

IntStream.rangeClosed(2, number).reduce(1, (x, y) -> x * y)
