FACT()
Computes the factorial
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FACT(<nValue>) --> nFactorial
Argument
<nValue> Designates a value between 0 and 21.
Returns
FACT() returns the factorial of the specified value.
Description
FACT() computes the factorial of a value in the range of 0 to 21. Since
results for factorials over 21 are too large, the function returns -1 to
indicate an error.
Examples
Show some factorials:
? FACT(1) // Result: 1
? FACT(5) // Result: 120
? FACT(21) // Result: 51090942171709440000
? FACT(25) // Result: -1 (Value too large !)
? FACT(0) // Function returns 1
