Problem
On day 1
, one person discovers a secret.
You are given an integer delay
, which means that each person will share the secret with a new person every day, starting from delay
days after discovering the secret. You are also given an integer forget
, which means that each person will forget the secret forget
days after discovering it. A person cannot share the secret on the same day they forgot it, or on any day afterwards.
Given an integer n
, return the number of people who know the secret at the end of day n
. Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 109 + 7
.
Example 1:
Input: n = 6, delay = 2, forget = 4 Output: 5 Explanation: Day 1: Suppose the first person is named A. (1 person) Day 2: A is the only person who knows the secret. (1 person) Day 3: A shares the secret with a new person, B. (2 people) Day 4: A shares the secret with a new person, C. (3 people) Day 5: A forgets the secret, and B shares the secret with a new person, D. (3 people) Day 6: B shares the secret with E, and C shares the secret with F. (5 people)
Example 2:
Input: n = 4, delay = 1, forget = 3 Output: 6 Explanation: Day 1: The first person is named A. (1 person) Day 2: A shares the secret with B. (2 people) Day 3: A and B share the secret with 2 new people, C and D. (4 people) Day 4: A forgets the secret. B, C, and D share the secret with 3 new people. (6 people)
Constraints:
2 <= n <= 1000
1 <= delay < forget <= n
