Pascal Day - Live Coding Challenge

Coding challenges are back! This time, we’re going live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G8nn2lE23Y

Update:

Our Challenge this time around is going to be…

Pascal Triangle
For this challenge, you will use some PASCAL to compute each row of a Pascal triangle. This is most certainly the wrong tool for the job, no doubt, but that’s not going to stop us on pascal day.

You may remember the Pascal triangle from your childhood math classes. It starts with a single 1 at the top, then each row after that is built from the previous one, where the first and last number on the row are the first and last number of the previous row, and each number in-between is the sum of the two numbers a little to the right of it, and a little to the left of it, on the previous row. The nth row has n numbers on it. It looks like this:

Nothing about what time…

Pascal is one of my native languages… just saying…

Thanks, but I still do not see that anywhere. I won’t be the first time I am blind to something right in front of my nose.

I submitted an calendar event the other day. Looks like it just got up. https://calendar.dallasmakerspace.org/events/view/2767

Would you like to help with the coding then?

We could have one of us code while the other on screen answering the live stream.

I can write ‘hello world.’ in Pascal from scratch in well under a minute. What are we going to do for the rest of the hour?

QA, a code challenge or two from members, maybe a short tutorial on the language?
