# --description--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write a function to calculate the binomial coefficient for the given value of n and k.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This formula is recommended:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$\\binom{n}{k} = \\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!} = \\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)\\ldots(n-k+1)}{k(k-1)(k-2)\\ldots 1}$
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# --hints--
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom` should be a function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert(typeof binom === 'function');
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom(5,3)` should return 10.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(binom(5, 3), 10);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom(7,2)` should return 21.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(binom(7, 2), 21);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom(10,4)` should return 210.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(binom(10, 4), 210);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom(6,1)` should return 6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(binom(6, 1), 6);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`binom(12,8)` should return 495.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.equal(binom(12, 8), 495);
|
||
|
|
```

|
|

```js
|

|
|
function binom(n, k) {
|
||
|
|
let coeff = 1;
|
||
|
|
for (let i = n - k + 1; i <= n; i++) coeff *= i;
|
||
|
|
for (let i = 1; i <= k; i++) coeff /= i;
|
||
|
|
return coeff;
|
||
|
|
}
|
