Thread: Help with getting user input for my factorial method

Hello everyone! So here is my issue, I am using a while loop for a method to calculate the factorial of a number entered by the user. The while loop works correctly if have it inside my main (and class) but when I try to make a static method, I cant get user input. The reason why I am moving under my main is because i will eventually use a for loop to sum each iteration and i cant do that when it is together (at least i cant find a way). Ok here is my code...

 import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class whileLoopFac
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter a number the number of iterations: ");
int n= input.nextInt(); //store the number that user inputs
int callingMethod = Factorials(n);//calling Factorials method
 
 /*
for(int i=0; i<value; i++)//go through while loop as many times as iterated
	{
 
 
 
	}//end loop
 
	 */
 System.out.println("The factorial is: " + callingMethod );
 
 
	}//end main
 
public static int Factorials(int k) 
{
 
	int total = 1; 
	//int input = n;//i want this to be user input HERE IS THE PROBLEM!!
	while(n > 0)
	{
	total *= n; 
	n--; //decrement number entered by user
 
 
	}
	return total;
} //end SumFactorials
 
}//ends class

When I compile, it is unable to know what n is (which has been defined in the main method) I have tried to move that into my static method but had no luck... Thankyou!

That worked perfectly lol. Thankyou!
