To compute the binomial coefficient, you can use the following formula:

C_{n}^{k} = \frac{n !}{k ! \cdot ( n - k )!} = \frac{n \cdot ( n - 1 ) \cdot ( n - 2 ) \cdot ... \cdot ( n - k + 1 )}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot ... \cdot k}

Declare a variable $res$ and initialize it with a value of $1$ . Then multiply $res$ by $n$ and divide the result by $1$ . After that multiply $res$ by $n -1$ and divide by $2$ . Continue this process of multiplication and division $k$ times (the numerator and denominator of $C_{n}^{k}$ after simplification by $(n - k)!$ contain $k$ factors).

For the recursive implementation of the binomial coefficient, use the following formula:

C_{n}^{k} = {C_{n - 1}^{k - 1} + C_{n - 1}^{k}, n > 0 1, k = n или k = 0

Algorithm realization

The Cnk function returns the binomial coefficient using an iterative method.

int Cnk(int n, int k)
{
  int res = 1;
  for(int i = 1; i <= k; i++)
    res = res * (n - i + 1) / i;
  return res;
}

The main part of the program. Read the input data.

scanf("%d %d",&n,&k);

Compute and print the answer.

res = Cnk(n,k);
printf("%d\n",res);

Algorithm realization – recursion

The Cnk function returns the binomial coefficient using a recursive method.

int Cnk(int n, int k)

  if (n == k) return 1;
  if (k == 0) return 1;
  return Cnk(n - 1, k - 1) + Cnk(n - 1, k);
}
