First I found /⍎¨⍕(!8) and it gave me the result 9. But if I do 100!, as the number is big, I am not able to get that.

With ⍎¨⍕(!100) I am getting a syntax error: ⍎SYNTAX ERROR

Is there any other way to solve the problem or can you suggest me some modifications?

CodePudding user response：

!100 is a large number and when you format it's result you'll get a string representing a number in E notation.

⍕!100 → '9.332621544E157', when you attempted to eval (⍎) each character you ran into a syntax error since E has no meaning.

There are two ways to split a large integer into it's digits:

Firstly with inverse decode, examples can be found on the APLcart

    10⊥⍣¯1!100

This is vulnerable to floating point imprecision, however.

The second and preferred option is using big from the dfns library, which can be imported using the quad function CY.

'big'⎕CY'dfns'

Examples here

And thankfully the last example covers your exact case! Factorial 100 is ↑×big/⍳100

The final solution to the problem could look like this:

/⍎¨↑×big/⍳100
