The exclamation point (!) is a mark of punctuation used after a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a strong emotion. Also called an exclamation mark or (in newspaper jargon) a shriek. The exclamation point was first used in English in the 16th century. However, the mark didn't become a standard feature on keyboards until the 1970s.
In maths, the exclamation mark is called a Factorial, that means that you have to multiply a number with the numbers before it. For example 5! (read five factorial) equals 5x4x3x2x1=120. And while we're that, lets talk about your next natural question, what's 0! Its 1. But don't ask me why.
