Hi everyone,

I'm new to boost (and not so new but not very experienced to c++) and I'm
having problems with functions defined with a template, as factorial
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/factorials/sf_factorial.html).
My questions is, how do I call the funtion factorial? Why isn't it enough
calling factorial(n) where n is an unsigned integer? Does one need to
define the function specifying the result type before? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Alberto.
