This implementation of the factorial function is not guaranteed to terminate, since a negative argument causes an infinite descending chain of recursive calls.
22.
The function is the additive analog of the factorial function, which is the " products " of integers from 1 to.
23.
The factorial function is denoted with the exclamation mark ( serving as the symbol of the function ) after the variable ( postfix notation ).
24.
The factorial function, which defines the number of permutations on a set of fixed objects, grows very rapidly with the number of objects.
25.
Where ? ( " z " ) is the gamma function, a shifted generalization of the factorial function to non-integer values.
26.
Besides nonnegative integers, the factorial function can also be defined for non-integer values, but this requires more advanced tools from mathematical analysis.
27.
Because of the factorial function in the denominator, the Erlang distribution is only defined when the parameter " k " is a positive integer.

That expansion, in turn, serves as the starting point for one of the derivations of precise error estimates for Stirling's approximation of the factorial function.
