Hi Namir,
thanks for sharing this program. I pasted it into my RPN-97 emulator on the iPad and it works just fine, but only if step 68 is changed to a division.
RE: Gamma function using Spouge Approximation - Namir - 06-13-2014 12:35 PM
Thanks for your correction Willy. I corrected step 68 as you suggested.
Also thanks for fantastic HP-67/97 emulators for the iPad!

Thank you for the kudos. BTW, your sometimes "unorthodox" listings caused me quite a bit of headache while implementing the new source code translation capability of the emulators. But finally things are coming together.

Thanks Namir, for this program. I ran several samples and got a high degree of accuracy for the Gamma function.

So far I am finding this program yields correct results for any positive number up to 55. For negative numbers (non-integer) I have gotten correct results on all the ones I have tried so far.
I have also modified the program somewhat to work on my HP-38C as well as the iOS emulator for HP-25 (GO-25 SciRPN) which has a capacity of 99 program steps. The latter was more of a challenge as the HP-25 has no factorial or ISZ functions so those have to be re-created using additional program steps.
Regards,
Bob
