Count different numbers that can be generated such that there digits sum is equal to ‘n’

Given an positive integer n. Count the different numbers that can be generated using digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 such that digits sum is the number ‘n’. Here digit ‘4’ will be treated as ‘1’. For instance, 
32 = 3 + 2 = 5 
1341 = 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 6 
441 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 
Note: Answer the value in mod = 109+7 

Input: 2
Output: 5
Explanation
There are only '5' numbers that can 
be made:
11 = 1 + 1 = 2
14 = 1 + 1 = 2
41 = 1 + 1 = 2
44 = 1 + 1 = 2
2  = 2

Input: 3
Output: 13
Explanation
There are only '13' numbers that can 
be made i.e., 111, 114, 141, 144, 411, 
414, 441, 444, 12, 21, 42, 24, 3.

The approach is to use Dynamic programming. The problem is same as coin change and Ways to write n as sum of two or more positive integers problems. The only difference is that, instead of iterating up-to ‘n’, iterate only from 1 to 3 as according to question, only 1, 2, 3 and 4 digits are allowed. But since ‘4’ can be replaced with ‘1’ therefore iterate through 1, 2 and 3 and double the count of ‘1’ for compensation of digit ‘4’.
