Central binomial coefficient

Given an integer N, the task is to find the Central binomial coefficient
The first few Central binomial coefficients for N = 0, 1, 2, 3… are 
 

1, 2, 6, 20, 70, 252, 924, 3432…..




Examples: 
 

Input: N = 3 
Output: 20 
Explanation: 
Central Binomial Coefficient = = 20
Input: N = 2 
Output:
 




 


Approach: The central binomial coefficient is a binomial coefficient of the form . The Binomial Coefficient can be computed using this approach for a given value N using Dynamic Programming.
For Example: 
 

Central binomial coefficient of N = 3 is given by: 
= 20 
 


Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

// C++ implementation to find the
// Nth Central Binomial Coefficient
 
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the value of
// Nth Central Binomial Coefficient
int binomialCoeff(int n, int k)
{
    int C[n + 1][k + 1];
    int i, j;
 
    // Calculate value of Binomial
    // Coefficient in bottom up manner
    for (i = 0; i <= n; i++)
    {
        for (j = 0; j <= min(i, k); j++)
        {
            // Base Cases
            if (j == 0 || j == i)
                C[i][j] = 1;
 
            // Calculate value
            // using previously
            // stored values
            else
                C[i][j] = C[i - 1][j - 1] +
                        C[i - 1][j];
        }
    }
 
    return C[n][k];
}
 
// Driver Code

{
    int n = 3;
    int k = n;
    n = 2*n;
    cout << binomialCoeff(n, k);
}

    for(i = 0; i <= n; i++)
    {
       for(j = 0; j <= Math.min(i, k); j++)
       {
            
          // Base Cases
          if (j == 0 || j == i)
              C[i][j] = 1;
           
          // Calculate value
          // using previously
          // stored values
          else
              C[i][j] = C[i - 1][j - 1] +
                        C[i - 1][j];
