I made a Java program that prints out a pascal triangle, however I can't figure out how to correctly position it.
Program 1
public class Triangle {
public static void main() {
System.out.println("\nTriangle: ");
int row = 11;
long[][] triangle = new long[row][row];
triangle[1][1] = 1;
System.out.print(triangle[1][1] + "\n");
for (int i = 2; i < row; i++) {
for (int n = 1; n < row; n++) {
triangle[i][n] = triangle[i-1][n-1] + triangle[i-1][n];
if (triangle[i][n] > 0) {
System.out.print(triangle[i][n] + " ");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Output:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
Program 2
public class Triangle {
public static void main() {
System.out.println("\nTriangle: ");
int row = 11;
long[][] triangle = new long[row][row];
int x = 1;
while (x < row - 1) {
System.out.print(" ");
x++;
}
triangle[1][1] = 1;
System.out.print(triangle[1][1] + "\n");
for (int i = 2; i < row; i++) {
x = i;
while (x < row - 1) {
System.out.print(" ");
x++;
}
for (int n = 1; n < row; n++) {
triangle[i][n] = triangle[i-1][n-1] + triangle[i-1][n];
if (triangle[i][n] > 0) {
System.out.print(triangle[i][n] + " ");
}
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
Output:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1 //(Notice this line is incorrectly positioned)
When the triangle approaches multiple digit numbers, it starts to break down and makes it ugly. Can someone explain how I can display a normal triangle instead of this ugly one?
Dynamic Pascal Triangle generator is here:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
static double fact(int n) {
double result = 1;
for (double i = 1; i <= n; i++)
result *= i;
return result;
}
static double combine(int n, int r) {
return ((fact(n)) / (fact(n - r) * fact(r)));
}
static void pascalTriangle(int n) {
int n2 = n;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (int space = 8 * (n2 - 1); space >= 0; space--) {
System.out.printf(" ");
}
for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
System.out.printf("%14.0f", combine(i, j));
System.out.printf(" ");
}
System.out.println();
n2--;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
throws IOException, InterruptedException {
@SuppressWarnings("resource")
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter Number of Lines(n): ");
int n = sc.nextInt();
pascalTriangle(n);
System.out.println("Press any key to exit! ");
sc.nextByte();
}
}
