Description Product of consecutive integers
Arguments and Return Values Arguments: Two scalar numeric inputs Return Value: The product of all integers between the two inputs (inclusive)
Usage Syntax: intprod(a, b) intprod(1, n) = fact(n) If the first input is negative and the second is positive, the product will be zero (since the range includes zero), but the function will not warn you. The function finds an upper boundary for the product by taking double(b)^(b - a + 1). If the value of that upper limit is less than intmax (2,147,483,647), the returned value will be integer format. If it is greater, the returned value will be double format. If no arguments are input, intprod() prints its description, as shown below.
Examples dv> intprod() Returns product of consecutive integers intprod(a, b) returns product of integers a through b (inclusive) Both inputs must be scalar (1x1x1).
