Bug ID: 502849
Summary: Applying x! to a non-integer number gives a wrong
result
Classification: Applications
Product: kcalc
Version: 24.12.3
Platform: FreeBSD Ports
OS: FreeBSD
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
Applying "x!" to a non-integer positive number (e. g. 2.5!) gives an incorrect
result, the factorial of the integer part (in this case 2). Factorials of
non-integer numbers must either be calculated using the gamma function, n! =
Γ(n+1), or throw an error message if this is impossible to implement.

PS, applying x! to an integer negative number must always throw an error, the
gamma function (therefore, the factorial as well) is undefined at these points.
