118. Pascal's Triangle

Easy


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





class Solution:
    def generate(self, numRows: int) -> List[List[int]]:

        pascal = [[1]*(i+1) for i in range(numRows)]

        for i in range(numRows):
            for j in range(1, i):
                pascal[i][j] = pascal[i-1][j-1]+ pascal[i-1][j]

        return pascal


Random Note


From python 3.7 dict guarantees that order will be kept as they inserted, and popitem will use LIFO order but we need FIFO type system. so we need OrderedDict which have popIten(last = T/F) for this req. One thing, next(iter(dict)) will return the first key of the dict
