gamma_r

Compute the natural logarithm of the absolute gamma value of x, with the sign of the gamma value also returned. The input parameter is a real number.

Interface Definition

C interface:

double gamma_r(double x, int *signgam);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description	Input/Output
x	For gamma_r, x is of double-precision floating-point type.	Floating-point value of the input data.	Input
signgam	In gamma_r, signgam is an integer pointer.	Symbol for storing the gamma value of x.	Output

Return Value

The natural logarithm of the absolute gamma value of x and the sign of the gamma value are returned.
If the input is NaN, the output is NaN and the sign is 1.
If the input is +∞, the output is +∞ and the sign is 1.
If the input is –∞, the output is +∞ and the sign is 1.
If the input is +0, the output is +∞ and the sign is 1.
If the input is –0, the output is +∞ and the sign is –1.
