Gamma function
Note: Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no direct OO equivalent for the $Gamma function.
The $Gamma function returns the value:
0∫∞ ux-1 e-u du
Syntax
%num = $Gamma(x)
Usage notes
- If x is not within the range 0 < x < 57.5744, an error message is printed and the request is cancelled.
