DanielJohnson: > Please help, I couldnt find the function through help. You can't find it because it's not there:
def factorial(n): """factorial(n): return the factorial of the integer n. factorial(0) = 1 factorial(n) with n<0 is -factorial(abs(n)) """ result = 1 for i in xrange(1, abs(n)+1): result *= i if n >= 0: return result else: return -result def binomial(n, k): """binomial(n, k): return the binomial coefficient (n k).""" assert n>0 and isinstance(n, (int, long)) and isinstance(k, (int, long)) if k < 0 or k > n: return 0 if k == 0 or k == n: return 1 return factorial(n) // (factorial(k) * factorial(n-k)) Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
