Given two integers n and k, count the number of binary strings of length n with k as number of times adjacent 1’s appear.

Examples: 

Input  : n = 5, k = 2
Output : 6
Explanation:
Binary strings of length 5 in which k number of times
two adjacent set bits appear.
00111  
01110
11100
11011
10111
11101

Input  : n = 4, k = 1
Output : 3
Explanation:
Binary strings of length 3 in which k number of times
two adjacent set bits appear.
0011  
1100
0110
Recommended Practice

Lets try writing the recursive function for the above problem statement: 
1) n = 1, only two binary strings exist with length 1, not having any adjacent 1’s 
      String 1 : “0” 
      String 2 : “1”
2) For all n > 1 and all k, two cases arise 
      a) Strings ending with 0 : String of length n can be created by appending 0 to all strings of length n-1 having k times two adjacent 1’s ending with both 0 and 1 (Having 0 at n’th position will not change the count of adjacent 1’s). 
      b) Strings ending with 1 : String of length n can be created by appending 1 to all strings of length n-1 having k times adjacent 1’s and ending with 0 and to all strings of length n-1 having k-1 adjacent 1’s and ending with 1.

Example: let s = 011 i.e. a string ending with 1 having adjacent count as 1. Adding 1 to it, s = 0111 increase the count of adjacent 1.  

Let there be an array dp[i][j][2] where dp[i][j][0]
denotes number of binary strings with length i having
j number of two adjacent 1's and ending with 0.
Similarly dp[i][j][1] denotes the same binary strings
with length i and j adjacent 1's but ending with 1.
Then: 
    dp[1][0][0] = 1 and dp[1][0][1] = 1
    For all other i and j,
        dp[i][j][0] = dp[i-1][j][0] + dp[i-1][j][1]
        dp[i][j][1] = dp[i-1][j][0] + dp[i-1][j-1][1]

Then, output dp[n][k][0] + dp[n][k][1]
