In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is an infinite triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra.In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in Persia, [1] India, [2] China, Germany, and Italy.
The Extended Pascal standard extends Pascal to support many things C supports, which the original standard Pascal did not, in a type safer manner. For example, schema types support (besides other uses) variable-length arrays while keeping the type-safety of mandatory carrying the array dimension with the array, allowing automatic run-time ...
As in Pascal's triangle and other similarly constructed triangles, [2] sums of components along diagonal paths in Bernoulli's triangle result in the Fibonacci numbers. [ 3 ] As the third column of Bernoulli's triangle ( k = 2) is a triangular number plus one, it forms the lazy caterer's sequence for n cuts, where n ≥ 2. [ 4 ]
Before – writing about "recipes" (on cooking, rituals, agriculture and other themes) c. 1700–2000 BC – Egyptians develop earliest known algorithms for multiplying two numbers
In matrix theory and combinatorics, a Pascal matrix is a matrix (possibly infinite) containing the binomial coefficients as its elements. It is thus an encoding of Pascal's triangle in matrix form. There are three natural ways to achieve this: as a lower-triangular matrix , an upper-triangular matrix , or a symmetric matrix .
This algorithm draws all eight octants simultaneously, starting from each cardinal direction (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) and extends both ways to reach the nearest multiple of 45° (45°, 135°, 225°, 315°).
Pascal-P5, created outside the Zürich group, accepts the full Pascal language and includes ISO 7185 compatibility. Pascal-P6 is a follow on to Pascal-P5 that along with other features, aims to be a compiler for specific CPUs, including AMD64. UCSD Pascal branched off Pascal-P2, where Kenneth Bowles used it to create the interpretive UCSD p-System.
Algorithm DP SAT solver Input: A set of clauses Φ. Output: A Truth Value: true if Φ can be satisfied, false otherwise. function DP-SAT(Φ) repeat // unit propagation: while Φ contains a unit clause {l} do for every clause c in Φ that contains l do Φ ← remove-from-formula(c, Φ); for every clause c in Φ that contains ¬l do Φ ← remove-from-formula(c, Φ); Φ ← add-to-formula(c ...
