hey I have seemed to forgoten how to print functions in c++. Can someone help me? what do I need in main?

cout<<

yea I know but ok heres my code NOW

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int Factorial( const int num )
{
	int t = 1;
	int total = 1;
	while( t <= num ) {
		total = total * t;
		t++;
	} // end while
cout << total;
	return total;
}

int main () {
int number;
int total;
cin >> number;

Factorial (number);



    return 0;
}

I get it to print the factorial but my teacher said never to put cout in the function to avoid mistake I'm just having a hard time remembering exactly what to cout so i can have the cout in the main and still ooutput the correct results.


ps. sorry for such a noob-ish question. and thanx very much.

I see in your function definition for Factorial() that it returns an "int".

Hummm.... what to do with that int... what to do...?
