"The table counting type B alternating permutations by their last value is obtained by the following algorithm: first separate the picture by the column p = 0 and then compute two triangles. Put 1 at the top of each triangle and compute the rest as follows: fill the second row of the left (resp. right) triangle as the sum of the elements of the first row (resp. strictly) to their left. Then fill the third row of the right (resp. left) triangle as the sum of the elements of the previous row (resp. strictly) to their right. Compute all rows successively by reading from left to right and right to left alternately." [Joshua-Verges et al.]
