function [ n_data, n, c ] = catalan_values ( n_data )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% CATALAN_VALUES returns some values of the Catalan numbers.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    In Mathematica, the function can be evaluated by:
%
%      Binomial[2*n,n] / ( n + 1 )
%
%  First values:
%
%     C(0)     1
%     C(1)     1
%     C(2)     2
%     C(3)     5
%     C(4)    14
%     C(5)    42
%     C(6)   132
%     C(7)   429
%     C(8)  1430
%     C(9)  4862
%    C(10) 16796
%
%  Formula:
%
%    C(N) = (2*N)! / ( (N+1) * (N!) * (N!) ) 
%         = 1 / (N+1) * COMB ( 2N, N )
%         = 1 / (2N+1) * COMB ( 2N+1, N+1).
%
%  Recursion:
%
%    C(N) = 2 * (2*N-1) * C(N-1) / (N+1)
%    C(N) = sum ( 1 <= I <= N-1 ) C(I) * C(N-I)
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The Catalan number C(N) counts:
%
%    1) the number of binary trees on N vertices;
%    2) the number of ordered trees on N+1 vertices;
%    3) the number of full binary trees on 2N+1 vertices;
%    4) the number of well formed sequences of 2N parentheses;
%    5) the number of ways 2N ballots can be counted, in order,
%       with N positive and N negative, so that the running sum
%       is never negative;
%    6) the number of standard tableaus in a 2 by N rectangular Ferrers diagram;
%    7) the number of monotone functions from [1..N} to [1..N} which 
%       satisfy f(i) <= i for all i;
%    8) the number of ways to triangulate a polygon with N+2 vertices.
%
%  Example:
%
%    N = 3
%
%    ()()()
%    ()(())
%    (()())
%    (())()
%    ((()))

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input/output, integer N_DATA.  The user sets N_DATA to 0 before the
%    first call.  On each call, the routine increments N_DATA by 1, and
%    returns the corresponding data; when there is no more data, the
%    output value of N_DATA will be 0 again.
%
%    Output, integer N, the order of the Catalan number.
%
%    Output, integer C, the value of the Catalan number.
