Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

gcalctool does not support the double factorial operation, so what it's doing is:

3!! = (3!)! = 6! = 720

I have opened an upstream bug / feature request for the double factorial.

I'd suggest you subscribe to the Gnome request I have opened, it would be helpful if you let them know about your specific need for implementing this operation, as the report I filed is quite generic and doesn't take into account your actual situation or use case.

Thanks again!
