A warning: If `e' is greater than 12, this calculation will
produce values too large for an `int':
479001600 = 12!
2147483647 = Integer.MAX_VALUE
6227020800 = 13!
You can go somewhat higher by making `rslt' a `long':
2432902008176640000 = 20!
9223372036854775807 = Long.MAX_VALUE
51090942171709440000 = 21!
... but for anything over 20 even `long' will not suffice. You
should make sure `e' is 20 or smaller (12 or smaller for `int'),
or take a look at the BigInteger class.
