[Tutor] Luke, thanks a lot , here is the perfect code (as per ur suggestion)

[Asrarahmed Kadri]

#Implementation of Pascal Triangle

num_of_lines = input("How many lines you want to display")

list1 = []

for i in range(num_of_lines):
    flag = 0
    tmp = []
    for j in range(i+1):
        if flag == 0 or j == i:
            tmp.append(1)    # for the first or teh last element of the line
            flag = 1
        else:
            tmp.append(list1[i-1][j-1]+list1[i-1][j])   # for rest, add teh
numbers in previous  row

    list1.append(tmp)

# this code prints the Pascal triangle

for i in range(num_of_lines):
    for j in range(i+1):
        print list1[i][j],
    print
Output for num_lines = 5:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1

THNAKS ONCE MORE.
