    Can you figure out what it does? You won't have much luck trying to step through it or running it with numbers larger than two.

    int C(int n, int k)
    {
    if(k == 0 || k == n)
    return 1;
    else
    return C(n - 1, k) + C(n - 1, k - 1);
    }

      Wrap your head around this. What? What am I wrapping my head around?

      I wish I could tell you that the Monopoly guy fought the good fight and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that. But prison is no fairy-tale world

            Dunno, but the last 3 of his 7 total posts have been copies of a subject line. The other 4 aren't exactly fonts of knowledge either.

            3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

              Neat looks like the number of k-combinations from a set of n elements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

                I think it`s a formula in mathematics, it`s a formula on combination!

                      I afraid if k is greater than n first call to C in second return [C(n - 1, k)] will end up with exception as it will go in infinite loop.. :^) BTW this method will always return value greater than 1 if not an exception. CASE CLOSED .. Its Nothing ;P

                        Appears to be a Fibonacci sequence.
