Defined in header <cmath>
float       lgamma( float arg );		(since C++11)
double      lgamma( double arg );		(since C++11)
long double lgamma( long double arg );		(since C++11)
double      lgamma( Integral arg );		(since C++11)

Computes the natural logarithm of the absolute value of the gamma function of arg.

Parameters

arg

-

value of a floating-point or Integral type

Return value

The value of the logarithm of the gamma function of arg, that is log
e|∫∞
0targ-1
e^-t dt|.

If arg is a natural number, std::lgamma(arg) is the logarithm of the factorial of arg-1.

Exceptions

If arg is zero or a negative integer, pole error may occur and FE_INVALID or FE_DIVBYZERO may be raised.

If arg is too large, range error may occur and FE_OVERFLOW may be raised.

Notes

POSIX specification additionally requires that each execution of lgamma stores the sign of the gamma function of arg in the external variable signgam.
