GAMMA(X) computes Gamma (\Gamma) of X. For positive, integer values of X the Gamma function simplifies to the factorial function \Gamma(x)=(x-1)!.
Standard:
Fortran 2008 and later
Class:
Elemental function
Syntax:
X = GAMMA(X)
Arguments:
X Shall be of type REAL and neither zero nor a negative integer.
Return value:
The return value is of type REAL of the same kind as X.
Example:
program test_gamma
  real :: x = 1.0
  x = gamma(x) ! returns 1.0
end program test_gamma
Specific names:
