Syntax

math.lgamma(x)   

Parameters

x Required. Specify the value.

Return Value

The example below shows the usage of lgamma() function.

import math

print(math.lgamma(0.1))
print(math.lgamma(1.5))
print(math.lgamma(2.5),"\n")

print(math.lgamma(-0.1))
print(math.lgamma(-1.5))
print(math.lgamma(-2.5))

The output of the above code will be:

2.2527126517342055
