Description Factorial.
Arguments and Return Values Arguments: One numeric array Return Value: The factorial of the input
Usage Syntax: fact(x) 'x' - a numeric array whose value is an integer or half-integer x, such that -0.5 ≤ x ≤ 34 fact(n) = n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*...*2*1 for integers; 0! = 1 n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)*...0.5*fact(-0.5) for half-integers; (-0.5)! = √π Return format: int, when all elements of input are integers less than or equal to 12 (any format) float, when some elements of input are half-integer floats, or when the maximum value of the input is greater than 12 double, when some elements of input are half-integer doubles In general, the function returns the simplest format that can accurately represent the value of the factorial. If no arguments are input, fact() prints its description, as shown below.
