Binomial Showdown
Time Limit:1000MS | Memory Limit:65536K |
Description
In how many ways can you choose k elements out of n elements, not taking order into account?
Write a program to compute this number.
Write a program to compute this number.
Input
The input will contain one or more test cases.
Each test case consists of one line containing two integers n (n>=1) and k (0<=k<=n).
Input is terminated by two zeroes for n and k.
Each test case consists of one line containing two integers n (n>=1) and k (0<=k<=n).
Input is terminated by two zeroes for n and k.
Output
For each test case, print one line containing the required number. This number will always fit into an integer, i.e. it will be less than 2
31.
Warning: Don't underestimate the problem. The result will fit into an integer - but if all intermediate results arising during the computation will also fit into an integer depends on your algorithm. The test cases will go to the limit.
