Binomial Coefficient

Problem code: CB01

  • Submit
  • All Submissions

All submissions for this problem are available.

This is a very simple problem. Given the value of N and K, you need to tell us the value of the binomial coefficient C(N,K). You may rest assured that K <= N and the maximum value of N is 1,000,000,000,000,000. Since the value may be very large, you need to compute the result modulo 1009.

Input

The first line of the input contains the number of test cases T, at most 1000. Each of the next T lines consists of two space separated integers N and K, where 0 <= K <= N and 1 <= N <= 1,000,000,000,000,000.

Output

For each test case, print on a new line, the value of the binomial coefficient C(N,K) modulo 1009.

Example

Input:
3
3 1
5 2
10 3
Output:
3
10
120

I believe this question has a

I believe this question has a wrong test case!

My algorithm is:

I find n!/k! modulo 1009

then i find (n-k)! modulo 1009

and because 1009 is a prime , then both of these numbers are coprime to 1009

and we can use multiplicative inverse of (n-k)! modulo 1009

I tested my program for all inputs less than 1000 with a brute force algorithm. I'm sure my algorithm is right and my program works well. but it says wrong answer!!

Please at least give me the test i'm wrong with.

Thanks

(n-k)! is not coprime to 1009

triplem @ 21 Aug 2010 07:08 AM

(n-k)! is not coprime to 1009 when n-k>=1009, so your algorithm doesn't work.

Thanks

Thanks

Then what's your idea?

I designed the problem. Use Lucas theorem to solve it.

goharshady @ 22 Aug 2010 03:00 PM

As I saw Mr. Merriman's answer precomputes C(n,k) for n,k<=1009

I just merged the two algorithms mentioned above. I use Lucas' theorem for big ones and for small ones I find multiplicative inverse of [n-k]! mod 1009.

My solutions are memory-friendly :D

Hi guys, This is a problem

p_dawg @ 8 Sep 2012 02:22 PM
Hi guys, This is a problem that I've solved on other language packages, but I am a beginner in C and not so hot in C++. Could you please tell me how to run the files in the examples? What commands are required? I have built the .exe files but I do not see how to use them! Many thanks in advance, p_dawg

Program should read from standard input and write to standard output. After you submit a solution you can see your results by clicking on the [My Submissions] tab on the problem page. Below are the possible results:

 

  • Accepted Your program ran successfully and gave a correct answer. If there is a score for the problem, this will be displayed in parenthesis next to the checkmark.

  • Time Limit Exceeded Your program was compiled successfully, but it didn't stop before time limit. Try optimizing your approach.

  • Wrong Answer Your program compiled and ran succesfully but the output did not match the expected output.

  • Runtime Error Your code compiled and ran but encountered an error. The most common reasons are using too much memory or dividing by zero. For the specific error codes see the help section.

  • Compilation Error Your code was unable to compile. When you see this icon, click on it for more information.

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting a programming contest at the start of the month and another smaller programming challenge in the middle of the month. We also aim to have training sessions and discussions related to algorithms, binary search, technicalities like array size and the likes. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various algorithm tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our programming contest judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Preparing for coding contests were never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming challenges that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly coding contest and the shorter format Cook-off coding contest. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Our programming contests have prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700lots more CodeChef goodies up for grabs.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be a part of CodeChef's Forums and interact with all our programmers - they love helping out other programmers and sharing their ideas. Have discussions around binary search, array size, branch-and-bound, Dijkstra's algorithm, Encryption algorithm and more by visiting the CodeChef Forums and Wiki section.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. You can also host a coding contest for your institute on CodeChef, organize an algorithm event and be a guest author on our blog.

Go For Gold

The Go for Gold Initiative was launched about a year after CodeChef was incepted, to help prepare Indian students for the ACM ICPC World Finals competition. In the run up to the ACM ICPC competition, the Go for Gold initiative uses CodeChef as a platform to train students for the ACM ICPC competition via multiple warm up contests. As an added incentive the Go for Gold initiative is also offering over Rs.8 lacs to the Indian team that beats the 29th position at the ACM ICPC world finals. Find out more about the Go for Gold and the ACM ICPC competition here.
