scipy.misc.factorialk

scipy.misc.factorialk(n, k, exact=1)

n(!!...!) = multifactorial of order k k times

Parameters :

n : int, array_like

Calculate multifactorial. Arrays are only supported with exact set to False. If n < 0, the return value is 0.

exact : bool, optional

If exact is set to True, calculate the answer exactly using integer arithmetic.

Returns :

val : int

Multi factorial of n.

Raises :

NotImplementedError :

Raises when exact is False

Examples

>>> sc.factorialk(5, 1, exact=True)
120L
>>> sc.factorialk(5, 3, exact=True)
10L
