can anyone tell me what input will let it wrong

Try
Code: Select all
1
34 70 1

Correct output: 18204270



is it over flower for long long int ?

The first factorial that can't fit in a long long is 21! = 2^65.47...

It's simple, just like Binomial Showdown(530) :D

You have t-n*p extra marks, and you have to distribute them among n subjects. That means you have t-n*p marks, and you should put n-1 'separators' to divide them into n pieces. Imagine marks as 0's and separators as 1's. Now the problem is: How many different binary numbers can be formed with n-1 1's and t-n*p 0's ? The answer is (t-n*p+n-1)!/{(t-n*p)!(t-n*p)!), simply C(t-n*p+n-1, t-n*p), or C(t-n*p+n-1, n-1).

Just build a Pascal's triangle with 75 rows, then go! :D

P.S. Big integer may be needed.

I use unsigned int to get accepted. Although my first A.C. solution set -1 to an unsigned int :oops: , it still get accepted :D
Have you ever...

    Wanted to work at best companies?
    Struggled with interview problems that could be solved in 15 minutes?
    Wished you could study real-world problems?
If so, you need to read Elements of Programming Interviews.
