PASCALTRIANGLE(r)

This function gives the Coefficients of the Pascal triangle.
In $PASCALTRIANGLE(r)$ , r is the row number of the Pascal triangle.
Pascal triangle is the arrangement of numbers of the Binomial coefficients in a triangular shape.
It is started with the number 1 at the top in the 1st row.
Then from the 2nd row each number in the triangle is the sum of the two directly above it.
The construction is related to the binomial coefficients by Pascal's rule is :

$(x+y)^{n}=\sum _{k=0}^{n}{\binom {n}{k}}x^{n-k}.y^{k}$ . where \binom{n}{k} is the binomial coefficient.

PASCALTRIANGLE(1)=1 PASCALTRIANGLE(2)=1

                 1       1

PASCALTRIANGLE(3)=1

                 1       1
                 1       2         1

PASCALTRIANGLE(0)=NULL

PASCALTRIANGLE(level)

where

level is any real number

PASCALTRIANGLE function returns pascal's triangle for the given level.

PASCALTRIANGLE returns NaN if level is not a real number.

PASCALTRIANGLE

Lets see an example in (Column2Row1)
