Which function grows faster, exponential or factorial?
Which function grows faster, exponential (like 2^n, n^n, e^n etc) or factorial (n!)? Ps: I just read somewhere, n! grows faster than 2^n.
Answer
n! eventually grows faster than an exponential with a constant base (2^n and e^n), but n^n grows faster than n! since the base grows as n increases.
