[edit] Examples
Having the following function:
function faculty(n)
{if (n==1 || n==0)
return 1;
var facNumber = 1;
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++)
facNumber *= i;
return facNumber;
}
monitor(faculty)
This enables logging of calls to the function faculty(). So calling this function like faculty(5), a log message like the following will be created:
faculty(n=5)
