Pascal's triangle: Difference between revisions
(→{{header|PHP}}: This code wasn't right. The example asks for ten rows and the code is two off. The 2nd number of the last row should be the function argument int. I have corrected the code.) |

You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Pascal's triangle is an interesting math concept. Its first few rows look like this:
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1
where each element of each row is either 1 or the sum of the two elements right above it. For example, the next row would be 1 (since the first element of each row doesn't have two elements above it), 4 (1 + 3), 6 (3 + 3), 4 (3 + 1), and 1 (since the last element of each row doesn't have two elements above it). Each row n (starting with row 0 at the top) shows the coefficients of the binomial expansion of (x + y)n.
Write a function that prints out the first n rows of the triangle (with f(1) yielding the row consisting of only the element 1). This can be done either by summing elements from the previous rows or using a binary coefficient or combination function. Behavior for n <= 0 does not need to be uniform, but should be noted.

BASIC
Summing from Previous Rows
This implementation uses an array to store one row of the triangle. DIM initializes the array values to zero. For first row, "1" is then stored in the array. To calculate values for next row, the value in cell (i-1) is added to each cell (i). This summing is done from right to left so that it can be done on-place, without using a tmp buffer. Because of symmetry, the values can be displayed from left to right.
Space for max 5 digit numbers is reserved when formatting the display. The maximum size of triangle is 100 rows, but in practice it is limited by screen space. If the user enters value less than 1, the first row is still always displayed.
<lang freebasic>DIM i AS Integer DIM row AS Integer DIM nrows AS Integer DIM values(100) AS Integer
INPUT "Number of rows: "; nrows values(1) = 1 PRINT TAB((nrows)*3);" 1" FOR row = 2 TO nrows
PRINT TAB((nrows-row)*3+1);
FOR i = row TO 1 STEP -1
values(i) = values(i) + values(i-1)
PRINT USING "##### "; values(i);
NEXT i
PRINT
NEXT row</lang>

Clojure
For n < 1, prints nothing, always returns nil. Copied from the Common Lisp implementation below, but with local functions and explicit tail-call-optimized recursion (recur). <lang lisp>(defn pascal [n]
(let [newrow (fn newrow [lst ret]
(if lst
(recur (rest lst)
(conj ret (+ (first lst) (or (second lst) 0))))
ret))
genrow (fn genrow [n lst]
(when (< 0 n)
(do (println lst)
(recur (dec n) (conj (newrow lst []) 1)))))]
(genrow n [1])))
(pascal 4)</lang> And here's another version, using the partition function to produce the sequence of pairs in a row, which are summed and placed between two ones to produce the next row: <lang lisp> (defn nextrow [row]
(vec (concat [1] (map #(apply + %) (partition 2 1 row)) [1] )))
(defn pascal [n]
(assert (and (integer? n) (pos? n)))
(let [triangle (take n (iterate nextrow [1]))]
(doseq [row triangle]
(println row))))
</lang> The assert form causes the pascal function to throw an exception unless the argument is (integral and) positive.
Here's a third version using the iterate function <lang lisp> (def pascal
(iterate
(fn [prev-row]
(->>
(concat (first prev-row) (partition 2 1 prev-row) (last prev-row))
(map (partial apply +) ,,,)))
[1]))
</lang>
Common Lisp
To evaluate, call (pascal n). For n < 1, it simply returns nil.
<lang lisp>(defun pascal (n)
(genrow n '(1)))
(defun genrow (n l)
(when (< 0 n)
(print l)
(genrow (1- n) (cons 1 (newrow l)))))
(defun newrow (l)
(if (> 2 (length l))
'(1)
(cons (+ (car l) (cadr l)) (newrow (cdr l)))))</lang>

v = (v * (r - c)) / (c + 1);

}</lang> Functional style: <lang d>import std.stdio, std.algorithm, std.range;
auto pascal(int n) {
auto p = 1; foreach (_; 1 .. n) p ~= array(map!q{a[0] + a[1]}(zip(p[$-1] ~ 0, 0 ~ p[$-1]))); return p;

There is similarity between Pascal's triangle and Sierpinski triangle. Their difference are the initial line and the operation that act on the line element to produce next line. The following is a generic pascal's triangle implementation for positive number of lines output (n). <lang d>import std.stdio, std.string, std.format : fmx = format;
string Pascal(alias dg, T, T initValue)(int n) {
string output;
void append(T[] l) {
output ~= repeat(" ", (n - l.length + 1)*2);
foreach(e; l) output ~= fmx("%4s", fmx("%4s",e));
output ~= "\n";
}
if(n > 0) {
T[][] lines = initValue;
append(lines[0]);
for(int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
lines ~= lines[i-1] ~ initValue; // length + 1
for(int j = 1; j < lines[i-1].length; j++)
lines[i][j] = dg(lines[i-1][j], lines[i-1][j-1]);
append(lines[i]);
}
}
return output;
}
string delegate(int n) GenericPascal(alias dg, T, T initValue)(){
mixin Pascal!(dg, T, initValue); return &Pascal;
}
char xor(char a, char b) { return a == b ? '_' : '*'; }
void main() {
auto pascal = GenericPascal!((int a, int b){return a + b;}, int, 1);
auto sierpinski = GenericPascal!(xor, char, '*');
foreach(i; [1,5,9]) writef(pascal(i)); // an order 4 sierpinski triangle is a 2^4 lines generic // pascal triangle with xor operation foreach(i; [16]) writef(sierpinski(i));

So as not to bother with text layout, this implementation generates a HTML fragment. It uses a single mutable array, appending one 1 and adding to each value the preceding value.

out.print("

for x => v in row {
out.print(``)
}
for i in (1..!y).descending() {
row[i] += row[i - 1]
}
out.println("")
}
out.print("| $v |

Factor
This implementation works by summing the previous line content. Result for n < 1 is the same as for n == 1.
<lang factor>USING: grouping kernel math sequences ;

- pascal ( n -- seq )
1 - { { 1 } } swap [ (pascal) ] times ;</lang>
It works as:
<lang factor>5 pascal . { { 1 } { 1 1 } { 1 2 1 } { 1 3 3 1 } { 1 4 6 4 1 } }</lang>

Groovy
Recursive
In the spirit of the Haskell "think in whole lists" solution here is a list-driven, minimalist solution: <lang groovy>def pascal = { n -> (n <= 1) ? [1] : GroovyCollections.transpose([[0] + pascal(n - 1), pascal(n - 1) + [0]]).collect { it.sum() } }</lang> However, this solution is horribly inefficient (O(n**2)). It slowly grinds to a halt on a reasonably powerful PC after about line 25 of the triangle.
Test program: <lang groovy>def count = 15 (1..count).each { n ->
printf ("%2d:", n); (0..(count-n)).each { print " " }; pascal(n).each{ printf("%6d ", it) }; println ""
}</lang>
Output:

Haskell
An approach using the "think in whole lists" principle: Each row in the triangle can be calculated from the previous row by adding a shifted version of itself to it, keeping the ones at the ends. The Prelude function zipWith can be used to add two lists, but it won't keep the old values when one list is shorter. So we need a similar function
<lang haskell>zapWith :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a] zapWith f xs [] = xs zapWith f [] ys = ys zapWith f (x:xs) (y:ys) = f x y : zapWith f xs ys</lang>
Now we can shift a list and add it to itself, extending it by keeping the ends:
<lang haskell>extendWith f [] = [] extendWith f xs@(x:ys) = x : zapWith f xs ys</lang>
And for the whole (infinite) triangle, we just iterate this operation, starting with the first row:
<lang haskell>pascal = iterate (extendWith (+)) [1]</lang>
For the first n rows, we just take the first n elements from this list, as in
<lang haskell>*Main> take 6 pascal [[1],[1,1],[1,2,1],[1,3,3,1],[1,4,6,4,1],[1,5,10,10,5,1]]</lang>
A shorter approach, plagiarized from [1] <lang haskell>-- generate next row from current row nextRow row = zipWith (+) ([0] ++ row) (row ++ [0])
-- returns the first n rows pascal = iterate nextRow [1]</lang>

Icon and Unicon
The code below is slightly modified from the library version of pascal which prints 0's to the full width of the carpet. It also presents the data as an isoceles triangle. <lang Icon>link math
procedure main(A) every n := !A do { # for each command line argument
n := integer(\n) | &null pascal(n) }
end
procedure pascal(n) #: Pascal triangle
/n := 16
write("width=", n, " height=", n) # carpet header
fw := *(2 ^ n)+1
every i := 0 to n - 1 do {
writes(repl(" ",fw*(n-i)/2))
every j := 0 to n - 1 do
writes(center(binocoef(i, j),fw) | break)
write()
}
end</lang>

one-liner
The following routine returns a lazy list of lines using the sequence operator (...). With a lazy result you need not tell the routine how many you want; you can just use a slice subscript to get the first N lines: <lang perl6>sub pascal { [1], -> @p { [0, @p Z+ @p, 0] } ... * }
.say for pascal[^10];</lang>
See http://perlgeek.de/blog-en/perl-6/pascal-triangle.writeback for a partial explanation of how this one-liner example works.
One problem with the routine above is that it might recalculate the sequence each time you call it. Slightly more idiomatic would be to define the sequence as a lazy constant, which gives the compiler more latitude in whether to cache or recalculate intermediate values. (A desperate garbage collector can trim an overly long lazy constant, since it can always be recreated later, assuming the programmer didn't lie about its constancy.) In that sense, this is a better translation of the Haskell too.

RapidQ
Summing from Previous Rows
The main difference to BASIC implementation is the output formatting. RapidQ does not support PRINT USING. Instead, function FORMAT$() is used. TAB() is not supported, so SPACE$() was used instead.
Another difference is that in RapidQ, DIM does not clear array values to zero. But if dimensioning is done with DEF..., you can give the initial values in curly braces. If less values are given than there are elements in the array, the remaining positions are initialized to zero. RapidQ does not require simple variables to be declared before use.
<lang rapidq>DEFINT values(100) = {0,1}
INPUT "Number of rows: "; nrows PRINT SPACE$((nrows)*3);" 1" FOR row = 2 TO nrows

Ruby
<lang ruby>def pascal(n = 1)
return if n < 1
# set up a new array of arrays with the first value p = 1 # for n - 1 number of times, (n - 1).times do |i|
# inject a new array starting with [1]
p << p[i].inject([1]) do |result, elem|
# if we've reached the end, tack on a 1.
# else, tack on current elem + previous elem
if p[i].length == result.length
result << 1
else
result << elem + p[i][result.length]
end
end
end
# and return the triangle.
p
end</lang>
Or for more or less a translation of the two line Haskell version (with inject being abused a bit I know):
<lang ruby>def next_row row ; ([0] + row).zip(row + [0]).collect {|l,r| l + r }; end
def pascal n ; ([nil] * n).inject([1]) {|x,y| y = next_row x } ; end</lang>
Scala
Simple recursive row definition: <lang scala> def tri(row:Int):List[Int] = { row match {
case 1 => List(1)
case n:Int => List(1) ::: ((tri(n-1) zip tri(n-1).tail) map {case (a,b) => a+b}) ::: List(1)
}
} </lang> Funtion to pretty print n rows: <lang scala> def prettytri(n:Int) = (1 to n) foreach {i=>print(" "*(n-i)); tri(i) map (c=>print(c+" ")); println} prettytri(5) </lang> Outputs:
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1
Scheme
<lang scheme>(define (next-row row)
(map + (cons 0 row) (append row '(0))))
(define (triangle row rows)
(if (= rows 0)
'()
(cons row (triangle (next-row row) (- rows 1)))))
(triangle (list 1) 5) </lang> Output: <lang>((1) (1 1) (1 2 1) (1 3 3 1) (1 4 6 4 1))</lang>

Combinations
Thanks to Tcl 8.5's arbitrary precision integer arithmetic, this solution is not limited to a couple of dozen rows. Uses a caching factorial calculator to improve performance. <lang tcl>package require Tcl 8.5
proc pascal_combinations n {

for {set i 0} {$i < $n} {incr i} {
set row [list]
for {set j 0} {$j <= $i} {incr j} {
lappend row [C $i $j]
}
lappend rows $row
}
return $rows
}
proc C {n k} {
expr {[ifact $n] / ([ifact $k] * [ifact [expr {$n - $k}]])}
}
set fact_cache {1 1} proc ifact n {
global fact_cache
if {$n < [llength $fact_cache]} {
return [lindex $fact_cache $n]
}
set i [expr {[llength $fact_cache] - 1}]
set sum [lindex $fact_cache $i]
while {$i < $n} {
incr i
set sum [expr {$sum * $i}]
lappend fact_cache $sum

Comparing Performance
<lang tcl>set n 100 puts "calculate $n rows:" foreach proc {pascal_iterative pascal_coefficients pascal_combinations} {

Ursala
Zero maps to the empty list. Negatives are inexpressible. This solution uses a library function for binomial coefficients. <lang Ursala>#import std
- import nat
pascal = choose**ziDS+ iota*t+ iota+ successor</lang> This solution uses direct summation. The algorithm is to insert zero at the head of a list (initially the unit list <1>), zip it with its reversal, map the sum over the list of pairs, iterate n times, and return the trace. <lang Ursala>#import std
- import nat
pascal "n" = (next"n" sum*NiCixp) <1></lang> test program: <lang Ursala>#cast %nLL
example = pascal 10</lang> output:
< <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>, <1,9,36,84,126,126,84,36,9,1>>
Vedit macro language
Summing from Previous Rows
Vedit macro language does not have actual arrays (edit buffers are normally used for storing larger amounts of data). However, a numeric register can be used as index to access another numeric register. For example, if #99 contains value 2, then #@99 accesses contents of numeric register #2.
<lang vedit>#100 = Get_Num("Number of rows: ", STATLINE)
- 0=0; #1=1
Ins_Char(' ', COUNT, #100*3-2) Num_Ins(1) for (#99 = 2; #99 <= #100; #99++) {
Ins_Char(' ', COUNT, (#100-#99)*3)
#@99 = 0
for (#98 = #99; #98 > 0; #98--) {
#97 = #98-1 #@98 += #@97 Num_Ins(#@98, COUNT, 6)
} Ins_Newline
}</lang>
Using binary coefficients
<lang vedit>#1 = Get_Num("Number of rows: ", STATLINE) for (#2 = 0; #2 < #1; #2++) {
#3 = 1
Ins_Char(' ', COUNT, (#1-#2-1)*3)
for (#4 = 0; #4 <= #2; #4++) {
Num_Ins(#3, COUNT, 6) #3 = #3 * (#2-#4) / (#4+1)
} Ins_Newline
}</lang>
