Today I have done leetcode's August LeetCoding Challenge with cpp.

August LeetCoding Challenge 1

Description

Pascal's Triangle

Given an integer numRows, return the first numRows of Pascal's triangle.

In Pascal's triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it as shown:

 

Example 1:

Input: numRows = 5
Output: [[1],[1,1],[1,2,1],[1,3,3,1],[1,4,6,4,1]]

Example 2:

Input: numRows = 1
Output: [[1]]

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= numRows <= 30

Solution

class Solution {
public:
  vector<vector<int>> generate(int numRows) {
    vector<vector<int>> answer(numRows);
    answer[0] = {1};
    for(int i = 1; i < numRows; ++i) {
      for(int j = 0; j <= i; ++j) {
        if(!j || j == i) {
          answer[i].push_back(1);
        } else {
          answer[i].push_back(answer[i - 1][j - 1] + answer[i - 1][j]);
        }
      }
    }
    return answer;
  }
};
