Factorial

[xunil2]

Hello,

do you know the syntax for factorial x in a formula mode ?
I have tested fact(x) and x!, but these syntaxes are not correct.

Thank you,
XuniL.

As far as I know there's no factorial function for the formula node. I'm talking about LabVIEW 7.0. If you want to calculate the factorial you may use the Factorial VI included in LabVIEW.

If you have LabVIEW 8.0, you could use the Mathscript node. It is much more powerful 😉

That's right, the Formula Node does not have a built-in factorial function.  The MathScript Node in LabVIEW 8.0, however, does have a factorial function.  Its syntax is b=factorial(a);.

And of course, you could always use the Factorial.vi.  Or you could even write the code yourself!  🙂
