Pascal's triangle: Difference between revisions

Line 326:
=== Recursive(slow) ===
In the spirit of the Haskell "think in whole lists" solution here is a list-driven, minimalist solution:
<lang groovy>pascal = { n -> (n <= 1) ? [1] : (0GroovyCollections..<n).collect { i -> transpose([[0] + pascal(n - 1))[i], + (pascal(n - 1) + [0]])[i].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 825 of the triangle.
 
Program for unformatted output:
<lang groovy>(1..20).each { println "${it}: ${pascal(it)}" }</lang>
 
Output:
