[Edu-sig] Pascal's Triangle (in 2.6)

""" Rows of Pascal's Triangle See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_triangle "Calculating an individual row" Consider a row starting as follows: 1, 12... Initialize to [1] and multiply by (row_num/1) to get the next term, row[1]. Then decrement and increment again, getting (11 / 2), (10

Pascal's Triangle mod 2 is also a Sierpinski gasket fractal. This is one of the Python examples in Pippy in the Sugar education software. # Sierpinski triangles import sys size = 3 modulus = 2 lines = modulus**size vector = [1] for i in range(1,lines+1): vector.insert(0,0) vector.append(0)
