# Generate Pascal's triangle

Pascal's triangle is generated by starting with a 1 on the first row. On subsequent rows, the number is determined by the sum of the two numbers directly above it to the left and right.

To demonstrate, here are the first 5 rows of Pascal's triangle:

    1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1


## The Challenge

Given an input n (provided however is most convenient in your chosen language), generate the first n rows of Pascal's triangle. You may assume that n is an integer inclusively between 1 and 25. There must be a line break between each row and a space between each number, but aside from that, you may format it however you like.

This is code-golf, so the shortest solution wins.

## Example I/O

> 1
1
> 9
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1
1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1

• @Peter Olson: What's your opinion of ratchet freak's interpretation of "you may format it however you like"? If I followed his interpretation I could shave 18 characters. – Steven Rumbalski Oct 21 '11 at 20:57
• @StevenRumbalski He's fine. There's a newline between each row, and there is a space between each number, so it meets the criteria. – Peter Olson Oct 21 '11 at 21:32
• @Peter Olson: Thanks for the clarification. What about Tomas T's assumption that n is defined already? – Steven Rumbalski Oct 21 '11 at 21:50
• @Gaffi Probably not, accepting an answer makes me feel like I'm ending the contest and discouraging new and possibly better answers. – Peter Olson Jun 8 '12 at 4:05

• J beats GolfScript? Interesting. I would like to see an explanation for this code, if you have time. – Mr.Wizard Oct 26 '11 at 9:31
• It's already split down, but here's a line by line if you'd like additional english. Line 1 i.5 returns the first five naturals. Line 2 adds {: "Tail" (return last). Line 3 combines them with ! "Out Of" (number of combinations). Line 4 (!{:)i.5 is the same. factoring the hook out. So (!:) is an operation that transforms the first n naturals to the nth line of Pascal's triangle. Line 5 applies it to all Prefixes (backslash) of 0..4, but J fills in the unused spots with 0, so the operation is combined (@) with the string formatting operation ":. Very cool J, upvoted. – J B Nov 2 '11 at 14:51
• @JB Isn't ! means factorial here? Also we can get rid of @ at the right. – defhlt Aug 15 '12 at 14:35
• @ArtemIce Monadic ! means factorial; dyadic ! counts combinations. The final @ in ":@(!{:)\@i. is just there to make this a stand-alone verb. – ephemient Aug 15 '12 at 14:38

## Mathematica: 36 (41?)

Mathematica has the Binomial function, but that takes the fun out of this. I propose:

NestList[{0,##}+{##,0}&@@#&,{1},n-1]


The line above will render a ragged array such as:

{{1}, {1, 1}, {1, 2, 1}, {1, 3, 3, 1}, {1, 4, 6, 4, 1},
{1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1}, {1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1}}


Since this is a basic format in Mathematica I thought it would be acceptable, but as I read the rules again, I think it may not be. Adding Grid@ will produce unequivocally acceptable output, for a total of 41 characters:

Grid@NestList[{0,##}+{##,0}&@@#&,{1},n-1]


n = 6:

1
1   1
1   2   1
1   3   3   1
1   4   6   4   1

• I can't help but feel that this misses the point of code golf. (I also can't help pointing out that the extra character is in the \binom{5}{4} position). – Peter Taylor Jun 6 '12 at 16:11

## Scala, 817872 70 characters

81 chars: first attempt, shamelessly copied from the Python version :)

var x=Seq(1)

Run it as a script, or directly in the REPL.

Cut to 70 chars with something surprisingly readable and idiomatic:

Seq.iterate(Seq(1),readInt)(a=>(0+:a,a:+0).zipped.map(_+_))map println


Or 72 70 characters with a totally different method:

0 to(readInt-1)map(i=>println(0 to i map(1 to i combinations(_)size)))

Maybe I did something wrong, though. – Derek Kurth Oct 25 '11 at 20:16 • @DerekKurth: Technically it is the same, but the idea is that if you multiply by (i-j) before dividing by j, then there is no need for floating point arithmetic because the results should always be an integer. If you do ((i-j)/j) first, this will result in decimal values which can be a source of error, and at the very least will require extra code for rounding/truncating.

I don't know R, so maybe the compiler makes it so that undefined variables prompt an input, so it might be ok, but if it's like most other languages in that regard, I don't think it is. – Peter Olson Oct 22 '11 at 0:04 • Basically, the n must be supplied from an external source at run time and the apparatus for capturing it is included in your program. Typically, that means by command line argument, or stdin, or file. By file is almost never used because it's invariably longer than the other two options. – Steven Rumbalski Oct 24 '11 at 13:01 ## in Q (25 characters/20 with shorter version) t:{(x-1) (p:{0+':x,0})\1}  Shorter t:{(x-1){0+':x,0}\1}  Sample usage: q)t 4 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1  • Or alternatively, 20 characters t:{(x-1){0+':x,0}\1} – skeevey Mar 8 '12 at 20:35 • Nice, shorter than the GolfScript solution now. – sinedcm Mar 9 '12 at 12:10 # awk - 73 chars fairly straightforward implementation: {for(i=0;i<$1;++i)for(j=i;j>=0;)printf"%d%c",Y[j]+=i?Y[j-1]:1,j--?32:10}

## F♯ - 203 characters

My first attempt at a round of code golf, and first attempt at functional programming. There is probably some obvious way to shorten it I haven't quite figured out yet. It complies in VS2010s F♯ compiler (which has the effect of running #light by default unlike earlier versions), and also works in the F♯ interpreter. Accepts input via stdin. Wish there was a better way for the input/output though! Lots of characters!

## APL, 19 15 characters

A bit late to the party, perhaps?

{⍪{⍵!⍨⍳⍵+1}¨⍳⍵}


It doesn't beat the J entry, though.

This assumes that the index origin (⎕IO) is set to 0. Unfortunately, with an index origin of 1, we need 25 18 characters:

{⍪{⍵!⍨0,⍳⍵}¨1-⍨⍳⍵}


There are two ⍨s in the code to express my frustration.

Demo:

      {⍪{⍵!⍨⍳⍵+1}¨⍳⍵}5
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1


Explanations

Short version:

• ⍳⍵ (with an index origin of 0) produces an array of the numbers from 0 to ⍵-1 inclusive, where ⍵ is the right argument to the function.
• ⍳⍵+1 generates all numbers from 0 to ⍵
• {⍵!⍨⍳⍵+1} generates ⍵ choose k for every element k in ⍳⍵+1. The ⍨ (commute) operator swaps the arguments to a function around, such that the right hand argument becomes the left, and vice versa.
• {⍵!⍨⍳⍵+1}¨⍳⍵ passes each element in ⍳⍵ using the ¨ (each) operator. The result is a one dimensional array containing the first ⍵ rows of the Pascal's Triangle.
• The one argument form of ⍪ takes a one dimensional vector, and makes it a column rather than a row. Each row of the triangle is put on its own line.

• Virtually the same as the other version, except that 1-⍨ is placed before an ⍳ to replicate an index origin of 0.
• 0,⍳⍵ with an index origin of 1 replicates ⍳⍵+1 with an index origin of 0.

This is an old question now but I saw a shorter solution for VBA.

[B2].Resize([A1],[A1])="=IF(COLUMN()>ROW(),"""",IF(ROW()=2,1,IFERROR(A1+B1,1)))"


This is meant to be run in the immediate window. Input is in cell A1 of the active worksheet. Output is in the active worksheet starting at B2 and using however many cells are required based on the input. The COLUMN()>ROW() check keeps the top right of the triangle blank. The ROW()=2 check makes the first value 1 to initiate the triangle. I could have shifted the output down and dropped this check, but it introduces a lot of extraneous output before the actual triangle and I didn't feel that it was in the spirit of the challenge.

I originally posted a much more complicated method that calculated every value based on its row and column. All this method does, though, is to use in-cell formulas. I start at B2 so I can reference the row above it without #REF! errors. Then, it copies and pastes the same formula over a block of cells n wide and n tall. The input and output for n=25 looks like this:

• Very cool answer, but you can golf this quite a bit. Converting Function p(r) to Sub p(r) since you have no function output value, removing the space from debug.? c(n,k); and converting the multiline if-then-else statement to a single line (If k Then c=c(n-1,k-1)*n/k Else c=1) brings the byte-count down to 130 by my count – Taylor Scott Mar 28 '17 at 21:43
• @TaylorScott Thanks! I'm pretty new at golfing and only slightly less new to programming in general. I counted 142 because of the line breaks. From what I could find, those are supposed to count. – Engineer Toast Mar 29 '17 at 12:08
• Ah, you are right, I did forget to count my newlines, and as it turns out, at least one other golfing trick For n=0 To... can be condensed to For n=0To... bringing my version of the code to Sub p(r):For n=0To r-1:For k=0To n:Debug.?c(n,k);:Next:Debug.?:Next:End Sub Function c(n,k):If k Then c=1 Else c=c(n-1,k-1)*n/k [char(10)] End Function with a byte count of 139 – Taylor Scott Mar 30 '17 at 2:44
• A second look at this suggests that if you break it down into an immediate window function with a helper function, you can get it down to 112 Bytes (Immediate Window Function: For n=0To[A1-1]:For k=0To n:?c(n,k);:Next:?:Next Helper Function: Function c(n,k) If k Then c=c(n-1,k-1)*n/k Else c=1 End Function) – Taylor Scott Sep 18 '17 at 1:57
• @TaylorScott What about just dropping them entirely? With a change in the formula, it works just fine. I think that output starting at B2 instead of A1 is acceptable. – Engineer Toast Sep 20 '17 at 12:23
