# factorial2f

> Evaluate the [double factorial][double-factorial] function for a single-precision floating-point number.

<section class="intro">

The [double factorial][double-factorial] of a number `n`, denoted `n!!`, is defined as the product of all the positive integers up to `n` that have the same parity (odd or even) as `n`.

Thus, for example, `5!!` is `5 * 3 * 1 = 15` and `8!!` is `8 * 6 * 4 * 2 = 384`.

</section>

<!-- /.intro -->

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var factorial2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/factorial2f' );
```

#### factorial2f( n )

Evaluates the [double factorial][double-factorial] of `n` as a single-precision floating-point number.

```javascript
var v = factorial2f( 3 );
// returns 3

v = factorial2f( 4 );
// returns 8

v = factorial2f( 10 );
// returns 3840
```

If `n > 56`, the function returns `NaN`, as larger [double factorial][double-factorial] values cannot be safely represented in [single-precision floating-point format][ieee754].

```javascript
var v = factorial2f( 57 );
// returns Infinity
```

If not provided a nonnegative integer value, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var v = factorial2f( 3.14 );
// returns NaN

v = factorial2f( -1 );
// returns NaN
```

If provided `NaN`, the function returns `NaN`.

```javascript
var v = factorial2f( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var discreteUniform = require( '@stdlib/random/array/discrete-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console/log-each-map' );
var factorial2f = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/factorial2f' );

var x = discreteUniform( 10, 0, 56, {
'dtype': 'int32'
});

logEachMap( 'factorial2f(%d) = %0.1f', x, factorial2f );
```

### Usage

```c
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/factorial2f.h"
```

#### stdlib_base_factorial2f( n )

Evaluates the [double factorial][double-factorial] of `n` as a single-precision floating-point number.

```c
float out = stdlib_base_factorial2f( 3 );
// returns 3.0f
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

- **n**: `[in] int32_t` input value.

```c
float stdlib_base_factorial2f( const int32_t n );
```
