kitControl-Factorial

This component provides a factorial math output, based upon the value present at its statusNumeric input. Only the integer portion of the input value is evaluated—for example, either value of 1.03 or 1.9999 is evaluated as 1. The

Factorial is available in the Math folder of the kitControl palette.

Behavior of Factorial object

This section describes the behavior of the factorial component. If the input value is set to 171 or greater, the output is set to infinite (+inf) with the fault status.

The output displays the message Input number too large to the user.

Following are some examples where the inputs are varied:

  1. If the In A is set to 171, Out becomes +inf{fault}.

  2. If the In A is set to greater than 171, Out becomes +inf{fault}

    .
  3. If the In A is set to less than 171 (i.e 100), Out becomes 1.0 {ok}.
