/**
 * Pascal's Triangle is an array of binomial coefficients. It can be used for unwrapping terms like
 * (a + b)^5.
 * To construct Pascal's Triangle you add the numbers above the child entry together. Here are the first five rows:
 *     1
 *    1 1
 *   1 2 1
 *  1 3 3 1
 * 1 4 6 4 1
 *
 * Time Complexity: quadratic (O(n^2)).
 *
 * @param n The exponent / The index of the searched row.
 * @returns The nth row of Pascal's Triangle
 * @see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_triangle
