Hello everyone,
I am writing a calculator that reads input in postfix notation, and I am using the library libMPC so that it can support arbitrary precision complex numbers. The problem is that I want it to support the gamma function, but the only arbitrary precision function I have at my disposal will only provide a solution when given a real number. What I am wondering is if it is possible for me to implement a version which will accept any number regardless of whether it's real, imaginary, or complex, or if I need to muck about in the internals of libMPC to make a function which computes it along the complex plain. Thanks for any help.
