Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Values less than or equal to 0 are invalid.
print('Gamma for 0.001', ee.Number(0.001).gamma()); // 999.423772484
print('Gamma for 0.5', ee.Number(0.5).gamma()); // 1.772453850
print('Gamma for 1', ee.Number(1).gamma()); // 1
print('Gamma for 100', ee.Number(100).gamma()); // 9.332621544e+155
print('Gamma for 200', ee.Number(200).gamma()); // Infinity
Python setup
