A double value.
Return Value
A double value specifying the natural logarithm of the Gamma function of
. If x is a negative integer, the
result is NaN.
Remarks

. See Gamma for the
definition of 
.
The Gamma function is not defined for integers less than or equal to
zero. Also, 
must not be so
large that the result overflows. Neither should x be so
close to a negative integer that the accuracy is worse than half
precision.
