: The current format requirement may be rigorous, but not intuitive. You go through all this trouble to align digits, yet because widths of numbers vary within each line, the slanted right edge of the triangle is not a straight line and looks unpleasant. What's the point of the complicated formatting, really? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 23:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 
:: Partially a reaction to the issues seen in [[Pascal's triangle]] where there was not enough rigor. No doubt someone could still find a way to adhere to the letter of the task rather than the spirit, but that too could be interesting to see. (I pity the people that have to write documentation for their work who don't try doing something similar for an open source type project where lessons learned can be rapid and sometimes brutal, but on RC - kind-a nice).
:: Partially because some specs are just as particular; with non-intuitive requirements that are even more hidden. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 02:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 
:: P.S. Should I add an optional goal: ''to add an option to your routine that can produce equi-width columns'' ? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 02:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
