how can i calculate the value of C(5,0.5)? @binom function expects integer values for both n and k.

The following piece of code uses the generalized version of the computation of binomial coefficents and should do the trick for you:

call gbinom(5,0.5)

subroutine gbinom(scalar n,scalar k)
  scalar gbcoef = @exp(@gammalog(n+1)-@gammalog(k+1)-@gammalog(n-k+1))
endsub
