								# --description--
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Implement one algorithm (or more) to compute the [Gamma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma function) ($\\Gamma$) function (in the real field only).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The Gamma function can be defined as:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<div style='padding-left: 4em;'><big><big>$\Gamma(x) = \displaystyle\int_0^\infty t^{x-1}e^{-t} dt$</big></big></div>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								# --hints--
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma` should be a function.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert(typeof gamma == 'function');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.1)` should return a number.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert(typeof gamma(0.1) == 'number');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.1)` should return `9.513507698668736`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert.equal(round(gamma(0.1)), round(9.513507698668736));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.2)` should return `4.590843711998803`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert.equal(round(gamma(0.2)), round(4.590843711998803));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.3)` should return `2.9915689876875904`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert.equal(round(gamma(0.3)), round(2.9915689876875904));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.4)` should return `2.218159543757687`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert.equal(round(gamma(0.4)), round(2.218159543757687));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`gamma(.5)` should return `1.7724538509055159`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |
