Answer:

Of course.

Iterative Triangle

Here is an iterative method that calculates Triangle

int Triangle( int N )
{
  int totalPins = 0;
  for ( int row=1; row<=N; row++ )
    totalPins += row;
    
  return totalPins;
}

You might prefer it to the recursive version because the code looks familiar. But notice that it is not as clear that it implements the definition.

QUESTION 19:

Is there a formula that gives Triangle(N) immediately?
