Requires Excel 365 / 2019 version 2007 or newer

An excel worksheet function that defines the contextual arrays c and r then outputs an 9x9 array containg the output.

Answer 5

Python: 87

I'm eyeballing the solutions others have posted and most of them don't appear to get the spacing correct.

for i in range(1,10):print''.join(('%s×%s=%s'%(j,i,i*j)).ljust(7)for j in range(1,i+1))

Answer 6

Python (79)

or (77) if I use range(10) except that produces an empty line at the start

for i in range(1,10):print' '.join('%dx%d=%-2d'%(j,i,j*i)for j in range(1,i+1))

Sub M()
While B<9
B=1-B*(B<>A)
A=A-(B=1)
S=S &B &"x"&A &"="&A*B &IIf(A=B,vbLf,Space(2+(A*B>9)))

No for loops :-) and only one while loop.

And no If statements, so I could potentially one-line it and get the automatic "End Sub" for 8 fewer bytes if pushed; but I'm not that close to the leaderboard :-)

Sub M():While B<9:B=1-B*(B<>A):A=A-(B=1):S=S &B &"x"&A &"="&A*B &IIf(A=B,vbLf,Space(2+(A*B>9))):Wend:MsgBox S

Answer 14

Javascript (using external library) (74 bytes)

n=>_.Range(1,9).WriteLine(v=>_.Range(1,v).Write(" ",x=>v+"x"+x+"="+(v*x)))

Link to lib: https://github.com/mvegh1/Enumerable

Code explanation: Create a range starting from 1, for 9 elements. For each integer in the range, write a line according to the predicate accepting the current value as the input param.

Each line in WriteLine will create a range from 1 to v, and write a space delimited string where each integer in the 1 to v sequence is mapped to the multiplication equation

Answer 15

Python 2, 91 characters

for k in[" ".join(["%ix%i=%i"%(j,i,j*i)for j in range(1,i+1)])for i in range(1,10)]:print k

Or, if each line as string like '1x2=2 2x2=4' is acceptable, this is 85 characters:

for k in[" ".join(["%ix%i=%i"%(j,i,j*i)for j in range(1,i+1)])for i in range(1,10)]:k

This one is slightly varied, resulting 93 characters:

print("\n".join([" ".join(["%ix%i=%i"%(j,i,j*i)for j in range(1,i+1)])for i in range(1,10)]))

Answer 18

Julia (236 Bytes, potentially 63) - Could use help.

A=[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9;1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
map(x->x>0?print(x,"x",x,"=",x*x,"\t"):println(),triu!(A'))

Someone put in the comments "Who's going to do anything but use 2 loops?"

This guy is!

I don't know how to instantiate matrices easily in Julia, anyone who could help me do the instantiation of the matrix better I will be grateful. I can only get it to make a 2D array, and triu doesn't work on that.

How it works:

• A = [...] creates a 9x9 matrix with 1-9 in each vector (someone please teach me to do this right without accidentally creating a 2D array... I want to learn this language better, but I'm confused on the typing differences and a lot of the documentation is pretty terse for matrices.
• triu!(A') takes the inverse of the upper triangle of the matrix.
• map(x->x?0...:...,A) mapping function that differentiates on x=0, printing a newline when needed.

Output:

1×1=1 
1×2=2  2×2=4 
1×3=3  2×3=6  3×3=9 
1×4=4  2×4=8  3×4=12 4×4=16
1×5=5  2×5=10 3×5=15 4×5=20 5×5=25
1×6=6  2×6=12 3×6=18 4×6=24 5×6=30 6×6=36
1×7=7  2×7=14 3×7=21 4×7=28 5×7=35 6×7=42 7×7=49
1×8=8  2×8=16 3×8=24 4×8=32 5×8=40 6×8=48 7×8=56 8×8=64
1×9=9  2×9=18 3×9=27 4×9=36 5×9=45 6×9=54 7×9=63 8×9=72 9×9=81

     .o        Print space
    \1.+       Increment J
    .c.m\1.+   Dup J, Push I, add 1 (to do J < I + 1)
  .a         End loop.
  \n.o       Print newline.
  .m\1.+     Push I, add 1
  .c\n       Duplicate, push 10 (to do 10 > I)
