Hi, If you copy and paste the following into a command line sage session
print ln(factorial(171)) print ln(factorial(171).n(100)) print ln(factorial(171)).n(100) print ln(factorial(171)*1.0) you get: sage: print ln(factorial(171)) log(1241018070217667823424840524103103992616605577501693185388951803611996075221691752992751978120487585576464959501670387052809889858690710767331242032218484364310473577889968548278290754541561964852153468318044293239598173696899657235903947616152278558180061176365108428800000000000000000000000000000000000000000) sage: print ln(factorial(171).n(100)) 711.71472580229000695352178063 sage: print ln(factorial(171)).n(100) 711.71472580229000695352178063 sage: print ln(factorial(171)*1.0) 711.714725802290 If, on the other hand, you save it to a python file and execute it via the attach() command you get: log(1241018070217667823424840524103103992616605577501693185388951803611996075221691752992751978120487585576464959501670387052809889858690710767331242032218484364310473577889968548278290754541561964852153468318044293239598173696899657235903947616152278558180061176365108428800000000000000000000000000000000000000000) 711.71472580229000695352178063 711.71472580229000695352178063 inf Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? Found on sage-4.3.3 64bit linux, but older versions exhibit the same behaviour. regards, Jens -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
