    Can you calculate the factorial for fractional and negative numbers?
    It turns out yes! .Calc.exe in Windows 2000 and Windows XP can calculate it :)

    You can.

    I don't know what it looks like in xp, but the calculator in 7 counts the values of the pi function:

    $$\Pi(z)=\int_0^\infty t^ze^{-t}dt$$

    very similar to the gamma function.

    For non-negative integers, the function coincides with the factorial. For negative integers it does not count. Everything is OK.
