RE: Γ(x+1) [HP-41C]
Slightly more accurate and smaller (201 bytes on the HP-71B). The HP-71B return a division by zero warning for negative arguments as expected.


————-

10 INPUT X
15 P=1 @ Q=0
20 IF X<0 Q=1 @ W=X @ X=-X
25 IF X<4 THEN X=X+4 @ P=X*(X-1)*(X-2)*(X-3)
30 Y=2*X
35 C=41/30-X/38+X*X/92
40 Z=X+(Y*(7*(C+Y))+6*C)/(Y*(42*(C+Y)-7)+29*C+6)
45 F=SQR(2*Z*PI)*(X/EXP(1))^X/P
50 IF Q THEN F=W*PI/(F*SIN(W*ACOS(-1)))
55 D=DISP F

P.S.:

In order to make the program more faithful to the initial HP-41C version, the line 40 should be changed to

40 Z=X+1/(6-1/(Y+6/(7-6/(Y+C))))

This decreases the HP-71B byte count to 190 bytes and has no effect on the overall accuracy, except for very occasional differences of one or two units in the last significant digit:

3 -> 6.000000000(40)
7 -> 5040.000000(34)
