How to make my Function work with vectors and scalers

function [s] = myFactorial(inputArg1)
%myFactorial Summary of this function goes here
%   Detailed explanation goes here
y = inputArg1;
  if y==0;
  s=1;
else;
    for y = inputArg1
x = [y:-1:1];
s=0;
for i=1:length(x);
    if s==0;
        s=s+x(i);
    else;
        s=s*x(i);
    end
end
end
  end
end

I'm new to matlab and was tasked to create a factorial function. I'm only allowed to use for-loops.

The task cannot be accomplished only using for-loops. You need assignment, and indexing, and multiplication. The task can be made much more efficient if you are also permitted to use at least one if test or one call to max()

As you mentioned that you allowed to use only for loops from that I am assuming that you are not allowed to use inbuilt “factorial” function.

you can use below code for finding factorial of a given number

function s = myFactorial(inputArg1)
s=1;
if inputArg1 == 0
    s=1;
else
    for i = 1: inputArg1
        s=s*i;
    end
end
end
