A dynamic programming algorithm generally consists of a number of phases that link together to arrive at the optimal solution. For example, your function should return 6 for n 4 and k 2, and it should return 10 for n 5 and k 2. The binomial coefficient also gives the value of the number of ways in which k items are chosen from among n. Bottomup zin bottomup programming, programmer has to do the thinking by selecting values to calculate and order of calculation zin topdown programming, recursive structure of original code is preserved, but unnecessary recalculation is avoided. It is a very general technique for solving optimization problems.

Like other typical dynamic programming dp problems, recomputations of same subproblems can be avoided by constructing a temporary array c in bottom up manner. Another occurrence of this number is in combinatorics, where it gives the number of ways, disregarding order, that k objects can be chosen from among n objects. Arranging binomial coefficients into rows for successive values of n, and in which k ranges from 0 to n, gives a triangular array called pascals triangle. We apply the divide and conquer rule by using recursive called, then binn1,k1, and binn1,k both need the result of binn2,k1, and this instance is solved separately in each recursive call.
