SP7186 COUNTPAS - Counting Pascal
Description
Pascal’s triangle is a common figure in combinatorics. It is a triangle formed by rows of integers.
The top row contains a single 1. Each new row has one element more than the previous one
and is formed as follows: the leftmost and rightmost values are 1, while each of the other values
is the sum of the two values above it. Here we depict the first 7 rows of the triangle.
1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1 1 5 10 10 5 1 1 6 15 20 15 6 1Pascal’s triangle is infinite, of course, and contains the value 1 an unbounded number of times.
However, any other value appears a finite number of times in the triangle. In this problem you
are given an integer K >= 2. Your task is to calculate the number of values in the triangle that
are different from 1 and less than or equal to K.
Input Format
The input contains several test cases. Each test case is described in a single line that contains
an integer K (2 processed as a test case.
Output Format
For each test case output a single line with an integer indicating the number of values in Pascal’s
triangle that are different from 1 and less than or equal to K.
