## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
Starting in the top left corner of a 2×2 grid, and only being able to move to the right and down, there are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner.
|
||
|
||
<img class="img-responsive center-block" alt="a diagram of 6 2 by 2 grids showing all the routes to the bottom right corner" src="https://i.imgur.com/1Atixoj.gif">
|
||
|
||
How many such routes are there through a given <code>gridSize</code>?

let paths = 1;
|
||
|
||
for (let i = 0; i < gridSize; i++) {
|

paths *= (2 * gridSize) - i;
|
||
paths /= i + 1;
|
