This aims to implement the calculation of Catalan numbers in four different programming languages: C, C++, Python, and Java.
Catalan numbers are a sequence of natural numbers that have various combinatorial interpretations and applications. The Catalan number sequence starts with 1 and continues as follows: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, 429, 1430, and so on.
The nth Catalan number, denoted as C(n), represents the number of different ways certain combinatorial structures can be arranged. The formula to calculate the nth Catalan number is:
C(n) = (2n)! / [(n + 1)! * n!]
Applications
Combinatorics and Counting
Binary Trees and BSTs
Dyck Paths
Triangulations
Parenthesis Parsing and Expression Evaluation
Catalan Solid Structures
Pathfinding and Grid Problems
Game Theory
Cryptography and Coding Theory
Computer Science Algorithms
