The instruction:

(a) Write a function choose fac(n,k) that computes

(n)
(k)


according to Denition (1), i.e., using n!
Hint: First dene a function fact(n) that takes an integer n and returns n! as the result of the function.
You can use the code from class, e.g., the one that computes n! recursively (n! = n  (n 1)! for integers
n  1, and n! = 1 for n = 0), or the one that works iteratively (i.e., using n! = 1  2  : : :  n).
( Now write a function choose rec(n,k) that computes

(n)
(k)


according to Denition (2), i.e., recursively.

I don't quite understand recursion but I managed to do the program. How do I make it so that the program prints out in a triangle format?

Thanks

Could you post your code?

Here's a hint: the python center command.
http://docs.python.o...ary/string.html

If you need more specific help, post some code.

There are a few ways you can do it, so try to think about it in pseudo code.

That may well come in useful but a whole page of documentation isn't going to help much as they have not posted any code - we don't know what the problem is. Not really a good hint, is it?

Wait until they post some code before giving "hints".

[atraub]

Yeah, I'm with Simown. There's no reason for you to be an ass under the guise of trying pretending to help.
