This approach involves generating Pascal's Triangle row by row using an iterative method. The first row is initialized with [1], and for each subsequent row, the first and last element are always 1. The intermediate elements are calculated as sums of appropriate elements from the previous row.
Time Complexity: O(numRows^2) due to the nested loop structure.
Space Complexity: O(numRows^2) as we store all elements of the triangle.

This JavaScript function builds Pascal's Triangle iteratively. Each row is an array filled with 1s, and inner values are updated based on the values above from the prior row. The triangle is constructed as an array of arrays.
This approach constructs Pascal's Triangle using recursion by calculating each value based on the combination formula. The values on the edges are always 1, and other values are calculated as combinatorial numbers derived recursively.
Time Complexity: O(numRows^3) due to recursive calls, not optimal.
Space Complexity: O(numRows^2) for storing the triangle.

31This C++ approach defines a recursive function that calculates each entry according to Pascal's combination principles. Recursive function calls compute combination values used in constructing each row incrementally.
