==range limits for the factorial function==
Just a thought...it would be interesting to programmatically identify the range limits of the factorial function for the unknown implementation. (The C and c++ implementations, for example, will overflow at different places depending on the range of int.) --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 18:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
: Yes, for non-native speakers of any language, it would be nice to know how big the '''thingys''' are: ''int, short, long, long long'', etc. For experienced programmers, I imagine this is old hat, but to programmers who can barely spell '''C''', ... not so obvious. --- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 21:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

In the table above, the factorial length for <b>416!</b> should be <b>911</b> rather than <b>394</b>. Used [[www.javascripter.net/math/calculators/100digitbigintcalculator.htm]] to verify.
