# 118_Pascal's_Triangle ###### tags: `leetcode` ## Problem Statement Given a non-negative integer numRows, generate the first numRows of Pascal's triangle. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Npmny7V.png) In Pascal's triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. - Example: > Input: 5 > Output: > [ > [1], > [1,1], > [1,2,1], > [1,3,3,1], > [1,4,6,4,1] > ] ## Solution - Just a simple math, use 2 layers as the for loop condition ```cpp= vector<vector<int>> result; for (int i= 0; i< numRows; i++) { vector<int> ele(i+ 1, 1); // all the elements 1 for (int j= 1; j< i; j++) { ele[j]= result[i- 1][j- 1]+ result[i- 1][j]; //addition from the former layer } result.push_back(ele); } return result; ```
