Pascal’s Triangle was created by Blaise Pascal during the seventeenth century. The Chinese and Persians are given credit for the discovery of triangles during the eleventh century. In 13th century, Yang Hui (1238-1298) came up with the arithmetic triangle also known as Pascal's triangle. This triangle is also known as Yang Hui's triangle. __ How to create the pascal triangle __ For example, Pascal’s generator would be considered today to be in row number zero, which is the number 1. The first row would consist of the numbers in the line directly below row number zero, and so on. Also, the numbers in each row of the triangle are described in terms of element numbers. For example, in Fig. 2, the third row contains the numbers 1 3 3 1. The first 1 would be defined as element number zero, while the first 3 would be defined as the first element, and so on. Furthermore, the zeroth and last elements in every row of the triangle are always 1, and, to form any other number of the triangle one would just have to add the two numbers immediately above it. For example, in Fig. 2, the second element in the fifth row, a 10, is formed by finding the sum of the 4 and the 6 from the fourth row. Now, rather than struggling through Pascal’s steps for construction, the triangle can be developed by following these simple rules.
