integer, the Binomial coefficient ({n \over k}).
In Matlab/Octave, if n
is a vector all combinations of k
elements from vector n
will be generated. Here, use the function
combs
instead.
S <- sapply(0:6, function(k) nchoosek(6, k)) # 1 6 15 20 15 6 1 # Catalan numbers catalan <- function(n) choose(2*n, n)/(n+1) catalan(0:10) # 1 1 2 5 14 42 132 429 1430 4862 16796 # Relations n <- 10 sum((-1)^c(0:n) * sapply(0:n, function(k) nchoosek(n, k))) # 0
