+1 for all of this, with a couple trivial nitpicks about the error
changes:
* I'd have written the error as "factorial of a negative number is
undefined" ... not sure what a grammar stickler would say about it,
but that seems more natural to me.
* I'd leave the "if (num <= 1)" test after the error check as-is;
it's probably a shade cheaper than "if (num == 0 || num == 1)".
