# --description--
|
|
|
|
There are exactly ten ways of selecting three from five, 12345:
|
|
|
|
<div style='text-align: center;'>123, 124, 125, 134, 135, 145, 234, 235, 245, and 345</div>
|
|
|
|
In combinatorics, we use the notation, $\\displaystyle \\binom 5 3 = 10$
|
|
|
|
In general, $\\displaystyle \\binom n r = \\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$, where $r \\le n$, $n! = n \\times (n-1) \\times ... \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$, and $0! = 1$.
|
|
|
|
It is not until $n = 23$, that a value exceeds one-million: $\\displaystyle \\binom {23} {10} = 1144066$.
|
|
|
|
How many, not necessarily distinct, values of $\\displaystyle \\binom n r$ for $1 \\le n \\le 100$, are greater than one-million?

# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`combinatoricSelections(1000)` should return a number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof combinatoricSelections(1000) === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`combinatoricSelections(1000)` should return 4626.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(combinatoricSelections(1000), 4626);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`combinatoricSelections(10000)` should return 4431.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(combinatoricSelections(10000), 4431);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`combinatoricSelections(100000)` should return 4255.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(combinatoricSelections(100000), 4255);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`combinatoricSelections(1000000)` should return 4075.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert.strictEqual(combinatoricSelections(1000000), 4075);
|
|
```
