The exclamation point "!" has different meanings depending on the context. In English, it expresses strong emotion, while in Filipino it is read as "Tandang Padamdam". In mathematics, "!" represents the factorial operation, where n! is read as "n factorial" and indicates the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. Examples show it being used after numbers to indicate winning a contest or completing a math project. Mathematicians use "!" after n to represent the factorial of n.
