Question:

The Stirling function stirling is given as an approximation of n!. The R function factorial is also an approximation for the factorial operation. This means that prod(1:n) will not always be the same as Πn j=1 j. Find out the least n for which factorial does not agree with the result for prod(1:n). Also, for 1:n, plot the n! values using the prod, stirling and factorial functions against 1:n and make notes.
