Talk:Floyd's triangle

Inspiration

I need to add a link to Vihart.

Can the colour of the font of just the task description be changed to pink? (A Dark side of the moon joke). --Paddy3118 19:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Output

• Has to be shown
• Has to be formatted just-so.

I am changing the output from print n=5 and n=15 to n=5 and n=14 to highlight the case of what should be done when the number of digits in the numbers of the last row changes, and is not the last digit itself. In this case, column widths need to change. Sorry Go language (but thanks for the quick example). The reason is, that I am trying to be more rigourous about the output format than in Pascal's triangle. --Paddy3118 06:52, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

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? --Ledrug 23:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
