题目描述

给定一个非负整数 numRows,生成「杨辉三角」的前 numRows 行。

示例 1:

输入: numRows = 5

输出: [[1],[1,1],[1,2,1],[1,3,3,1],[1,4,6,4,1]]

示例 2:

输入: numRows = 1
输出: [[1]]

提示:

1 <= numRows <= 30

思路及解法

杨辉三角,是二项式系数在三角形中的一种几何排列。它是中国古代数学的杰出研究成果之一,它把二项式系数图形化,把组合数内在的一些代数性质直观地从图形中体现出来,是一种离散型的数与形的结合。

杨辉三角具有以下性质:

代码

/** * Return an array of arrays of size *returnSize. * The sizes of the arrays are returned as *returnColumnSizes array. * Note: Both returned array and *columnSizes array must be malloced, assume caller calls free(). */int** generate(int numRows, int* returnSize, int** returnColumnSizes) {// Allocate memory for the 2D array to store Pascal's Triangleint** ret = malloc(sizeof(int*) * numRows);// Set the returnSize to the number of rows*returnSize = numRows;// Allocate memory for an array to store the size of each row in the triangle*returnColumnSizes = malloc(sizeof(int) * numRows);// Loop through each row of the trianglefor (int i = 0; i < numRows; ++i) {// Allocate memory for the current rowret[i] = malloc(sizeof(int) * (i + 1));// Set the size of the current row in the returnColumnSizes array(*returnColumnSizes)[i] = i + 1;// Set the first and last element of the current row to 1ret[i][0] = ret[i][i] = 1;// Populate the rest of the elements in the current row based on the previous rowfor (int j = 1; j < i; ++j) {ret[i][j] = ret[i - 1][j] + ret[i - 1][j - 1];}}// Return the generated Pascal's Trianglereturn ret;}

复杂度分析

时间复杂度:O(numRows^2)

空间复杂度:O(1)。不考虑返回值的空间占用。
