Using the factorial for loop example

I ran the for loop example, eg with the counter set to 173
a:=1
for i:1,i<173,i:=i+1
a:=a*i

a=

which gives a remarkably small answer without an error message

This software has great potential by the way, thank you.

I think you are right. I also suppose it is a bug!

Try yourself, please
[MATH]173!=#[/MATH]
or
[MATH]173!—#[/MATH]
The error has been issued this time - overflow!.

Oh, sure I have no problem with the factorial function overflowing, what I didn't like was the absence of an error message in the little program. You have incidentally answered another puzzle, how to use the "for" keybutton. Cheers greg

A agree with you. Andrey will answer on this, for sure. Btw., I think he is rather busy at the moment. In a day or two a new release should be here.

You are welcome. Some things could be a problem at the beginning because there is no Help or Tutorial yet.
Btw., I hope you understood these two ways of "for" loop? The second one is obtained with "range" function. If not, let me know and I will give you a detailed explanation.

Radovan
