Is there a way to define a function for a generalization of permutations for flonums using gamma? This doesn’t work because if n is >=171 and k is a float it just returns +inf.0: #lang racket (require math/special-functions) (define (my-factorial x) (gamma (+ x 1))) (define (my-permutations n k) (/ (my-factorial n) (my-factorial (- n k))))
Is there a better way to do this without it returning +inf.0, or is there a library function anywhere that does this? ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
