// MAIN //

/**
* Evaluates the gamma function.
*
* ## Method
*
* 1.  Arguments \\(|x| \leq 34\\) are reduced by recurrence and the function approximated by a rational function of degree \\(6/7\\) in the interval \\((2,3)\\).
* 2.  Large negative arguments are made positive using a reflection formula.
* 3.  Large arguments are handled by Stirling's formula.
*
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   Relative error:
*
*     | arithmetic | domain    | # trials | peak    | rms     |
*     |:----------:|:---------:|:--------:|:-------:|:-------:|
*     | DEC        | -34,34    | 10000    | 1.3e-16 | 2.5e-17 |
*     | IEEE       | -170,-33  | 20000    | 2.3e-15 | 3.3e-16 |
*     | IEEE       | -33, 33   | 20000    | 9.4e-16 | 2.2e-16 |
*     | IEEE       | 33, 171.6 | 20000    | 2.3e-15 | 3.2e-16 |
*
* -   Error for arguments outside the test range will be larger owing to error amplification by the exponential function.
*
*
* @param {number} x - input value
* @returns {number} function value
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( 4.0 );
* // returns 6.0
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( -1.5 );
* // returns ~2.363
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( -0.5 );
* // returns ~-3.545
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( 0.5 );
* // returns ~1.772
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( 0.0 );
* // returns Infinity
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( -0.0 );
* // returns -Infinity
*
* @example
* var v = gamma( NaN );
* // returns NaN
