C program to print the Pascal triangle that you might have studied while studying Binomial Theorem in Mathematics. A user will enter how many numbers of rows to print. The first four rows of the triangle are:
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1
Pascal triangle program in C language
#include <stdio.h>
long factorial(int);
int main()
{
int i, n, c;
printf("Enter the number of rows you wish to see in pascal triangle\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for (c = 0; c <= (n - i - 2); c++)
printf(" ");
for (c = 0 ; c <= i; c++)
printf("%ld ",factorial(i)/(factorial(c)*factorial(i-c)));
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}
long factorial(int n)
{
int c;
long result = 1;
for (c = 1; c <= n; c++)
result = result*c;
return result;
