Description                
FNGamma returns the value of the gamma function at x, (x). This function is defined for all real values of x except for x zero or a negative integer, at which points (x) becomes infinite.
 
If x is equal to a positive integer, n, the gamma function is related to the factorial by the relation
This relationship is often used to define a factorial for any real number, by using the definition
 (x)
