program for getting factorial using for

[biggz]

i started using c++ a few weeks ago , and i was told to build a program the finds the factorial of a number ...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
	int x,fact;
	cout<<"Enter the number wanted";
	cin>>x;
	for (fact=1; fact<=x ; fact++);
	{
                        fact = fact * x;
		cout<<"The Factorial ="<<fact<<endl;
		cout<<endl;
	}
}

i dont know what the problem is though

You cannot use fact as an loop iterator and as your final variable!
Try to see how the program is going to run for x = 3, for example.
