(Free42) not a bug - COMB

Not so nitpicking, take COMB(n,p) with p= 1229, just an example.
The built-in COMB can compute C(n,1229) up till n=45116057, returning Out of Range for larger n.
My RPN routine (in another thread) goes up to n=45377959. Quite a difference.

Thanks for the fix, Thomas, and of course it isn't urgent.

Cheers, Werner
