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! Open in SMath CloudTry yourself, please 173!=#or 173!—#The error has been issued this time - overflow!. Regards, Radovan Edited by user 30 August 2009 17:44:45(UTC)

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. Greg Locock wrote:You have incidentally answered another puzzle, how to use the "for" keybutton. 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. Regards, Radovan |

Finally, in order to avoid possible errors in the calculations below I've decided to forbid using variable, that caused an error.  Release will be available tomorrow in the midnight (01.09.2009). Edited by user 31 August 2009 01:21:15(UTC)
