==range limits for the factorial function== Just a thought...it would be interesting to programmatically identify the range limits of the factorial function for the unknown implementation. (The C and c++ implementations, for example, will overflow at different places depending on the range of int.) --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 18:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

: Yes, for non-native speakers of any language, it would be nice to know how big the '''thingys''' are: ''int, short, long, long long'', etc. For experienced programmers, I imagine this is old hat, but to programmers who can barely spell '''C''', ... not so obvious. --- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 21:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

In the table above, the factorial length for 416! should be 911 rather than 394. Used [[www.javascripter.net/math/calculators/100digitbigintcalculator.htm]] to verify.

== The moving of 80386 to x86 Assembly ==

I think it is better to use generic x86, and at most to specify a "works with", if needed, rather than let proliferate 80286, 80386, 80486, ... —[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 14:56, 27 April 2010 (UTC) : I agree to a point; there's a definite progression and tendency toward backwards-compatibility. However, there are incompatible revisions. It's possible that different modes (real, protected, long and legacy) warrant some degree of recognition as their own languages--these modes represent forward and reverse compatibility constraints. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

==D output==

Is the '''D''' output supposed to show (eight times) the value of ('''15!''') ? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:54, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
