计数给定长度的序列，其具有可以由给定值生成的非负前缀和

给定两个整数M和X ，任务是找到可以生成的包含X和-X的长度为M的序列的数量，使得它们各自的计数相等，并且结果序列的每个索引的前缀和是非-消极的。

例子：

Input: M = 4, X = 5
Output: 2
Explanation:
There are only 2 possible sequences that have all possible prefix sums non-negative: 

1. {+5, +5, -5, -5}
2. {+5, -5, +5, -5}

Input: M = 6, X = 2
Output: 5
Explanation:
There are only 5 possible sequences that have all possible prefix sums non-negative:

1. {+2, +2, +2, -2, -2, -2}
2. {+2, +2, -2, -2, +2, -2}
3. {+2, -2, +2, -2, +2, -2}
4. {+2, +2, -2, +2, -2, -2}
5. {+2, -2, +2, +2, -2, -2}

朴素的方法：最简单的方法是使用给定的整数+X和-X生成大小为M 的所有可能排列，并找到形成的每个排列的前缀和，并计算前缀和数组只有非负元素的那些序列。在上述步骤之后打印此类序列的计数。

时间复杂度： O((M*(M!))/((M/2)!) ² )
辅助空间： O(M)

有效的方法：这个想法是观察形成的任何序列的模式 每个索引处出现的正 X的数量总是大于或等于出现的负 X的数量。这类似于Catalan Numbers的模式。在这种情况下，检查在任何时候发生的正 X的数量总是大于或等于发生的负 X的数量，这是加泰罗尼亚数字的模式。所以任务是找到第N 个加泰罗尼亚数字，其中N = M/2 。

$K_{N} = \frac{\binom{2N}{N}}{N + 1}$ 

where, K_N is N^th the Catalan Number and $\binom{2N}{N}$is the binomial coefficient.

    // Update C(n, r) = C(n, n - r)
    if (r > (n - r))
        r = (n - r);
 
    // Find C(n, r) iteratively
    for (i = 0; i < r; i++) {
        val *= (n - i);
        val /= (i + 1);
    }
 
    // Return the final value
