Pascal's Triangle
Oh and also, if it makes sense, you can use n choose k ( choose() ) to calculate each element of the triangle if you don't want to deal with indicies, addition, etc. Jason ---- Original message ----

Hi Matilda, My ignorance of the mathematical properties of Pascal's Triangle might make me overlook a much easier way to do this, but my first brute force thought was to use a list to store each level of the triangle (i.e. a list of vectors). You can then use the values of the previous level to calculate the values of the next level. Then it should just be a matter of formatting using spaces or tabs and printing each level (vector) in the list. There may be some nuances to this depending how you want it to look,
but
nothing a little trial and error and Googling can't solve. HTH, Jason ---- Original message ----
