GAMMA
Returns the values of the Gamma function.
Syntax
GAMMA(x)
- x is a number.
- Constraint: If x is an integer, then x must be positive.
Semantic
GAMMA(x) calculates
-
.
Example
| GAMMA(4) = 6.0 exact
GAMMA(34.56) ≈ 6.2336323276E+037 GAMMA(−4) not defined |
|
Remarks
For x < 0.5 Eulers reflection formula is used.
The Gamma function has poles for negative integers and for zero. Near the poles the values are less accurate.
If x is a positive integer, then
But be aware, that OpenOffice.org has only a precision of 15 digits and results, which would consists of more than 15 significant digits, are rounded.
Issues
This function is expected for OOo3.1. Issue 94555
