Syntax
c = gamma(a)
Description
Computes the gamma function of the input elements. gamma generalizes the factorial function n!.
Inputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| a | Specifies a real matrix. |
Outputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| c | Returns the gamma function of the elements in a. c is a matrix of the same size as a. |
Details
LabVIEW computes gamma(a) using the following equation: c = integral(t^(a-1).*exp(-t), t, 0, +inf).
The following table lists the support characteristics of this function.
| Supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine | Yes |
| Supported on RT targets | Yes |
| Suitable for bounded execution times on RT | Not characterized |
Examples
A = [-3.7, -2.5, -1.3, 0.3, 1.3, 2.5, 3.7]
C = gamma(A)
