Hi there, Pascal (Posted on 2014-09-01) Difficulty: 2 of 5
How many odd entries are there in the 2014th row of Pascal's Triangle?


Rem: Please compare with my "Bonjour, Pascal!" of April 2014 .

DefDbl A-Z
Dim crlf$, row(1, 3000)


Private Sub Form_Load()
 ChDir "C:\Program Files (x86)\DevStudio\VB\projects\flooble"
 Text1.Text = ""
 crlf$ = Chr(13) + Chr(10)
 Form1.Visible = True
 DoEvents
 
 row(1, 1) = 1: row(1, 2) = 1
 For n = 2 To 2014
   For i = 1 To n
     row(0, i) = row(1, i)
   Next
   totodd = 0
   For i = 1 To n + 1
     row(1, i) = (row(0, i) + row(0, i - 1)) Mod 2
     
     If row(1, i) Then totodd = totodd + 1
   Next
   Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Str(n) & Str(totodd) & crlf
   DoEvents
 Next


 Text1.Text = Text1.Text & crlf & " done"
End Sub



The first few rows show the following counts:

  2 2 (1 2 1)
  3 4 (1 3 3 1)
  4 2 etc.
  5 4
  6 4
  7 8
  8 2
  9 4
 10 4
 11 8
 12 4
 13 8
 14 8
 15 16
 16 2
 17 4
 18 4
 19 8
 20 4
 21 8
 22 8
 23 16
 24 4
 25 8
 26 8
 27 16
 28 8
 29 16
 30 16
 31 32
 32 2
 33 4
 34 4
 35 8
 36 4
 37 8
 38 8
 39 16
 40 4
 41 8
 42 8
 
Then at the end:
 
  2001 128
  2002 128
  2003 256
  2004 128
  2005 256
  2006 256
  2007 512
  2008 128
  2009 256
  2010 256
  2011 512
  2012 256
  2013 512
  2014 512
 
 
So the 2014th row has 512 odd numbers. 

Also, BTW, one does see the pattern for Bonjour, Pascal.
