Pascal's Triangle for Python

Question

As a learning experience for Python, I am trying to code my own version of Pascal\'s triangle. It took me a few hours (as I am just starting), but I came out with this code:

Answer 1

# call the function ! Indent properly , everything should be inside the function
def triangle():

          matrix=[[0 for i in range(0,20)]for e in range(0,10)]         # This method assigns 0's to all Rows and Columns , the range is mentioned
          div=20/2           # it give us the most middle columns 
          matrix[0][div]=1        # assigning 1 to the middle of first row 
          for i in range(1,len(matrix)-1): # it goes column by column
               for j in range(1,20-1):  #  this loop goes row by row
                   matrix[i][j]=matrix[i-1][j-1]+matrix[i-1][j+1]               # this is the formula , first element of the matrix gets , addition of i index (which is 0 at first ) with third value on the the related row
    # replacing 0s with spaces :) 
          for i in range(0,len(matrix)):
              for j in range(0,20):
                   if matrix[i][j]==0:       #  Replacing 0's with spaces
                        matrix[i][j]=" "

          for i in range(0,len(matrix)-1):           # using spaces , the triangle will printed beautifully 
                for j in range(0,20):
                    print 1*" ",matrix[i][j],1*" ", # giving some spaces in two sides of the printing numbers
triangle() # calling the function

would print something like this

                       1
                1              1
           1           2            1
      1         3            3            1
  1        4        6            4               1
