# Problem 15: # # [Euler Project #15](https://projecteuler.net/problem=15) # # Starting in the top left corner of a 2×2 grid, and only being able to move to the right and down, there are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner. # # How many such routes are there through a 20×20 grid? # # --- # Let's try to map the example cases, by assigning a binary value to RIGHT and DOWN moves. # 0 = R # 1 = D # # 0 0 1 1 # 0 1 0 1 # 0 1 1 0 # 1 0 0 1 # 1 0 1 0 # 1 1 0 0 # A couple things that shake out of this, # 1. The total length of a sequence of moves is the equal to Length + Width of the grid. # 2. Each unique sequence of moves has a twin which is a mirror across the diagonal. # 3. Each valid sequence has an equal number of RIGHT and DOWN moves. # I'm sure there is some combinatorial mathematics that describes how to do this analytically, # but I'd rather practice programming a loop, than researching an elegant solution. length=20 width=20 move_sequence_length=length+width count=0
