Problem: ​
Assume you are given blocks of size 1, 2 and 3. Write a C++ program to recursively count the number of ways in which a tower of size n can be built with these blocks, such that exactly k of the blocks are of size 1.

 

Example: If n = 4 and k = 2, then there are three possible ways in which the tower can be built. If L1, L2, L3 represent the lego blocks of sizes 1, 2, 3 respectively, then the tower of size 4 can be built using the following block arrangements:

 

L1, L1, L2

L1, L2, L1

L2, L1, L1

 

HINT: If T(n, k) represents the number of ways in which a tower of size n can be built with exactly k 1-sized blocks, then T(n, k) can be recursively written as:

 

T(n,k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-2, k) + T(n-3, k)

where

T(n-1, k-1) represents the number of ways in which a size 1 block is used first, i.e., the number of ways to build a tower of size (n-1) containing exactly (k-1) blocks of size 1.
T(n-2, k) represents the number of ways in which a size 2 block is used first, i.e., the number of ways to build a tower of size (n-2) containing exactly k blocks of size 1.
T(n-3, k) represents the number of ways in which a size 3 block is used first, i.e., the number of ways to build a tower of size (n-3) containing exactly k blocks of size 1.
Use this recurrence formula to implement the recursive function. Think carefully about the base cases.

 

Note: 

You need to solve this question using recursion only. 
Solutions using any other approach will not be considered and any testcases that pass will be negated i.e. will be given a 0. 
 

Input Format

A line containing two positive integers n and k, separated by a space
 

Output Format

An integer representing the count of valid ways to build a tower.
 

Assumptions on Input

Assume that the value of n entered by the user will be between 1 and 15, both inclusive
Assume that the value of k entered by the user will be between 1 and 10, both inclusive
If it is not possible to construct a tower, return 0.
