JavaScript: Evaluate binomial coefficients
JavaScript Math: Exercise-20 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to evaluate binomial coefficients.
Note:
Binomial coefficient : According to Wikipedia - In mathematics, binomial coefficients are a family of positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. They are indexed by two nonnegative integers; the binomial coefficient indexed by n and k is usually written \tbinom nk. It is the coefficient of the x k term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x) n. Under suitable circumstances the value of the coefficient is given by the expression :

Arranging binomial coefficients into rows for successive values of n, and in which k ranges from 0 to n, gives a triangular array called Pascal's triangle.
Test Data:
console.log(binomial(8,3));
console.log(binomial(10,2));
Output :
56
45
Sample Solution:-
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Binomial coefficient</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function binomial(n, k) {
if ((typeof n !== 'number') || (typeof k !== 'number'))
return false;
var coeff = 1;
for (var x = n-k+1; x <= n; x++) coeff *= x;
for (x = 1; x <= k; x++) coeff /= x;
return coeff;
}
console.log(binomial(8,3));
console.log(binomial(10,2));
Sample Output:
56 45
