* feat(tools): add seed/solution restore script

* chore(curriculum): remove empty sections' markers

* chore(curriculum): add seed + solution to Chinese

* chore: remove old formatter

* fix: update getChallenges

parse translated challenges separately, without reference to the source

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to English

* chore(curriculum): add dashedName to Chinese

* refactor: remove unused challenge property 'name'

* fix: relax dashedName requirement

# --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);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function binom(n, k) {
}
```
# --solutions--
```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;
}
```
