Introduction

The double factorial of a non-negative integer ( n ) is the product of all the integers from ( n ) down to 1 that have the same parity as ( n ). For example, the double factorial of 6 is ( 6 \times 4 \times 2 = 48 ), and the double factorial of 5 is ( 5 \times 3 \times 1 = 15 ).

This repository focuses on the maximum value of the nth double factorial that can be represented in a double-precision floating-point format, adhering to the IEEE 754 standard. This value is crucial for applications in scientific computing, numerical analysis, and statistical modeling.

Installation

To get started with this project, you can download the latest release from our Releases page. Make sure to execute the downloaded file according to the instructions provided.

Prerequisites

• Node.js installed on your machine.
• Basic understanding of JavaScript.

Usage

Once you have installed the necessary files, you can utilize the constant in your JavaScript code. Here’s a simple example:

```javascript const maxNthDoubleFactorial = require('constants-float64-max-nth-double-factorial');

console.log(The maximum nth double factorial is: ${maxNthDoubleFactorial}); ```

This will log the maximum value of the nth double factorial to the console.

Example Calculation

To demonstrate how to calculate a double factorial, consider the following function:

```javascript function doubleFactorial(n) { if (n < 0) return undefined; // Not defined for negative numbers if (n === 0 || n === 1) return 1; // Base case return n * doubleFactorial(n - 2); // Recursive call }

console.log(doubleFactorial(6)); // Outputs: 48 console.log(doubleFactorial(5)); // Outputs: 15 ```

This function recursively calculates the double factorial for a given integer ( n ).
