LOG_GAMMA — Logarithm of the Gamma function#

LOG_GAMMA(X)#

LOG_GAMMA(X) computes the natural logarithm of the absolute value of the Gamma (Gamma) function.

Parameters: X – Shall be of type REAL and neither zero nor a negative integer.
Returns: The return value is of type REAL of the same kind as X.

Standard:

Fortran 2008 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

X = LOG_GAMMA(X)

Example:

program test_log_gamma
  real :: x = 1.0
  x = lgamma(x) ! returns 0.0
end program test_log_gamma
