what is wrong with my factorial code in python

Question

I have the following code for calculating the factorial of a number in python. but I couldnt understand why I am getting the answer as 1. can some one correct my code. I want to calculate the factorial without using recursion.

def factorial (n):
        result =1 
        num = n
        while n<1:
            result = result * num
            num = num -1
        return result

    factorial(5)
    1

Answer 1

while n < 1:

should instead be

while num > 1:
