Problem
You are given three integers n
, m
and k
. Consider the following algorithm to find the maximum element of an array of positive integers:
You should build the array arr which has the following properties:
arr
has exactlyn
integers.1 <= arr[i] <= m
where(0 <= i < n)
.- After applying the mentioned algorithm to
arr
, the valuesearch_cost
is equal tok
.
Return the number of ways to build the array arr
under the mentioned conditions. As the answer may grow large, the answer must be computed modulo 109 + 7
.
Example 1:
Input: n = 2, m = 3, k = 1 Output: 6 Explanation: The possible arrays are [1, 1], [2, 1], [2, 2], [3, 1], [3, 2] [3, 3]
Example 2:
Input: n = 5, m = 2, k = 3 Output: 0 Explanation: There are no possible arrays that satisfy the mentioned conditions.
Example 3:
Input: n = 9, m = 1, k = 1 Output: 1 Explanation: The only possible array is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 50
1 <= m <= 100
0 <= k <= n
