float lgammaf( float arg );
(1) (since C99)double lgamma( double arg );
(2) (since C99)long double lgammal( long double arg );
(3) (since C99)#define lgamma( arg )
(4) (since C99) 1-3)Computes the natural logarithm of the absolute value of the
gamma functionof
arg.
4) Type-generic macro: If arg has type long double, lgammal
is called. Otherwise, if arg has integer type or the type double, lgamma
is called. Otherwise, lgammaf
is called.
If no errors occur, the value of the logarithm of the gamma function of arg, that is \(\log_{e}|{\int_0^\infty t^{arg-1} e^{-t} \mathsf{d}t}|\)loge|∫â
0targ-1
e-t dt|, is returned.
If a pole error occurs, +HUGE_VAL, +HUGE_VALF
, or +HUGE_VALL
is returned.
If a range error due to overflow occurs, ±HUGE_VAL, ±HUGE_VALF
, or ±HUGE_VALL
is returned.
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling
.
If arg is zero or is an integer less than zero, a pole error may occur.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
If arg is a natural number, lgamma(arg) is the logarithm of the factorial of arg - 1.
The POSIX version of lgamma
is not thread-safe: each execution of the function stores the sign of the gamma function of arg in the static external variable signgam
. Some implementations provide lgamma_r
, which takes a pointer to user-provided storage for singgam as the second parameter, and is thread-safe.
There is a non-standard function named gamma
in various implementations, but its definition is inconsistent. For example, glibc and 4.2BSD version of gamma
executes lgamma
, but 4.4BSD version of gamma
executes tgamma
.
#include <errno.h> #include <fenv.h> #include <float.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdio.h> // #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON int main(void) { printf("lgamma(10) = %f, log(9!) = %f\n", lgamma(10), log(2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 * 9)); const double pi = acos(-1); printf("lgamma(0.5) = %f, log(sqrt(pi)) = %f\n", log(sqrt(pi)), lgamma(0.5)); // special values printf("lgamma(1) = %f\n", lgamma(1)); printf("lgamma(+Inf) = %f\n", lgamma(INFINITY)); // error handling errno = 0; feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("lgamma(0) = %f\n", lgamma(0)); if (errno == ERANGE) perror(" errno == ERANGE"); if (fetestexcept(FE_DIVBYZERO)) puts(" FE_DIVBYZERO raised"); }
Possible output:
lgamma(10) = 12.801827, log(9!) = 12.801827 lgamma(0.5) = 0.572365, log(sqrt(pi)) = 0.572365 lgamma(1) = 0.000000 lgamma(+Inf) = inf lgamma(0) = inf errno == ERANGE: Numerical result out of range FE_DIVBYZERO raised[edit] References
