Looks correct.
23. Enter the following lines and save a pascalTriangle.m.
function pascalTriangle(rows)
for n=0:rows
row=[];
format=’’;
for k=0:n
row=[row,binom(n,k)];
format=[format,’%6d’];
end
format=[format,’\n’];
fprintf(format,row)
end
This function will only work if you have written a successful binomial coefficient
function binom.m (see Exercise 22), either with a persnalized myfactorial.m
(see Exercise 21) or Matlab’s built in factorial.m. Execute the following at the
command prompt.
>> pascalTriangle(5)
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
27. Enter the following code in the editor and save as mymax.m.
