Function call on inappropriate object 5

(def fac(n) (if (is n 0) 1 (* n (fac(- n 1)))))

(def hyfac(n) (let y 1 (for x 1 (+ n 1) (= y (* y fac(n))))))

#<procedure: hyfac> arc> (hyfac 5) Error: "Function call on inappropriate object 5 ()" arc>

meh, why isnt that working?

It looks like the final left paren in hyfac is misplaced. It needs to be before the call to fac. Also, unless you explicity return y, hyfac will just return nil.

  (def hyfac (n)
    (let y 1
      (for x 1 (+ n 1)
        (= y (* y (fac n))))
    y))
