PASCALTRIANGLE(r)

• $r$ is the row number.

Description

• 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 ${\dbinom {n}{k}}$ is the binomial coefficient.

• This function will return the result as error when $r\leq 0$.
