C Program to find Binomial Coefficients

C Program to find Binomial Integers without using recursion.

Binomial coefficients are positive integers that are coefficient of any term in the expansion of (x + a) the number of combination’s of a specified size that can be drawn from a given set.

There are many ways to compute the Binomial coefficients. Like,

In this post we will be using a non-recursive, multiplicative formula.

The program is given below:

// C program to find the Binomial coefficient. Downloaded from www.c-program-example.com 
#include<stdio.h> 
void main() {
    int i, j, n, k, min, c[20][20]={0};
    printf("This program is brought to you by www.c-program-example.com\n" );     
    printf("\n Enter the value of n: ");     
    scanf("%d", &n);     
    printf("\n Enter the value of k: ");     
    scanf("%d", &k);
    if(n >= k) {         
        for(i=0; i<=n; i++) {             
            min = i<k? i:k;
            for(j = 0; j <= min; j++) {
                 if(j==0 || j == i) {
                     c[i][j] = 1;
                 } else {
                     c[i][j] = c[i-1][j-1] + c[i-1][j];
                 }
             }
         }
         printf("%d\t",c[n][k]);
         printf("\n");
     } else {
         printf("\n Invalid input \n Enter value n>=k \n");
     }
}
