"Bad argument to `genfact'"
What are the arguments to genfact here?
Inspecting the Maxima code, I see the following restriction:
(cond ((and (fixnump a)
(fixnump b)
(fixnump c))
(if (and (> a -1)
(> b -1)
(or (<= c a) (= b 0))
(<= b (/ a c)))
(gfact a b c)
(merror "Bad argument to `genfact'")))
(I.e. when a, b, and c are machine integers)
best
