Combinations(N,K) error (?)

Why 'Combinations(49,6)' from 'Math' returns

1.38888888888888889E-3

I think valid answer should be

13983816

Attachment 9739

Attachment 9740

Because there is a bug :oops:
I was using a wrong factorial function.

Thanks a lot for letting us know.
Please find here attached thinBasic_Math.dll
Unzip and place into \thinBasic\Lib\ substituting your current one.

Results you should get with attached thinBasic_Math.dll version

Code:

---

uses "math"
uses "console"

ext p = Permutations(49, 6)
ext c = Combinations(49, 6)
printl "Permutations(49, 6):", p
printl "Combinations(49, 6):", c

for x as long = 1 to 50
  printl "Factorial of ", x, "is", Factorial(x)
Next

Let me know if it is OK now.
Thanks

Thank You for a quick answer.

:D Now it's almost ok :D

But 'Combinations(Any_Number,0)' should return 1 not 0

Thanks again.
I've updated thinBasic_Math.zip in previous post.

:( Sorry, My fault :(

I've replaced math.dll in beta version and test in stable version...
