x is the input argument. If x is negative, the VI uses the absolute value of x.
Stirling(x) returns the value of the Stirling function.

Stirling's Formula Details

The following approximation defines the Stirling approximation to the gamma function.

The function is defined according to the following interval for the input value.

LabVIEW supports the entire domain of this function that produces real-valued results. The function is defined for nonnegative real values of x.
