Pascal's triangle: Difference between revisions

Content added Content deleted
m (added whitespace before the TOC (Table Of Contents), added a Task (bold) header. split the task's requirement sentences into paragraphs, used a bigger font for the formula to make it easier to read the superscript, replace <= with ≤.)
m (→‎{{header|REXX}}: added/changed comments and whitespace, optimized the code (for speed), made the code simplier.)
