1 Histograms of the binomial coefficient for different values of N

In [1]: using PyPlot #Import PyPlot

In [2]: function barPlot(N::Int64)

data = Array{BigInt}(N+1,1); #Declare array for the un-normalized

#data, BigInt because the values might be very big

for i in 0:N
data[i+1] = binomial(BigInt(N),i) #Filling the original array
end

ma = maximum(data) #Find the maximum of all those values

dat = Array{Float64}(N+1,1) #Declare new array to store the

#normalized data

for i in 0:N
dat[i+1] = data[i+1]/ma #Fill the array normalizing with
#respect to the maximum value
end

h = plt[:bar](0:N,dat,1) #Plotting the histogram

xlim([0,N+1]) #Declaring the limits for the x axis

grid("on") #Activating the grid view
xlabel("n")
ylabel(L"bin(N,n)/bin(N,N/2)")
title("Histogram for "*L"N=5")
show() #showing the result
