Am currently messing around trying to learn #OCaml, but just discovered the fact that the factorial function, given arithmetic overflow, will eventually become 0 for all subsequent terms.
I don't know if I'm the only person who hasn't clued in to this fact yet, but in retrospect it seems rather obvious. Nevertheless, kind of neat.
Random tags but I don't know where I'd place this #programming?

@pfpoitras I realized this just two days ago while teaching OCaml to my daughter. I hadn't questioned what happens once we get a negative number.
