Prompt

Create a Python function that calculates the factorial of a given non-negative integer.

Details:

  • Function Name: calculate_factorial
  • Input: A single argument n which is a non-negative integer.
  • Output: The factorial of n. If n is 0, return 1. If n is negative, raise a ValueError with the message “Input must be a non-negative integer.”
  • Error Handling: Include appropriate error handling for invalid input (e.g., negative numbers).
  • Style: Adhere to PEP 8 style guidelines. Include comments to explain the logic.

Example Usage:

result = calculate_factorial(5)
print(result)  # Output: 120

try:
    result = calculate_factorial(-1)
except ValueError as e:
    print(e)  # Output: Input must be a non-negative integer.

Output Format: Python code.

Target Audience: Python developers.

Tone: Professional, informative.
