# --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://cdn-media-1.freecodecamp.org/project-euler/1Atixoj.gif" style="background-color: white; padding: 10px;">
|
||
|
||
How many such routes are there through a given `gridSize`?
|
||
|
||
# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`latticePaths(4)` should return a number.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert(typeof latticePaths(4) === 'number');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`latticePaths(4)` should return 70.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(latticePaths(4), 70);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`latticePaths(9)` should return 48620.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(latticePaths(9), 48620);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`latticePaths(20)` should return 137846528820.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(latticePaths(20), 137846528820);
|
||
```

## --seed-contents--

```js
|

function latticePaths(gridSize) {

return true;
|

}
|
||
|
||
latticePaths(4);
|
||
```
|

|

# --solutions--
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
function latticePaths(gridSize) {
|
||
let paths = 1;
|
||
|
||
for (let i = 0; i < gridSize; i++) {
|
||
paths *= (2 * gridSize) - i;
|
||
paths /= i + 1;
|
||
}
|
||
return paths;
|
||
}
