Count of ways to traverse a Matrix and return to origin in K steps

Given three integers N, M and K, where N and M are the dimensions of the matrix and K is the maximum possible steps, the task is to count the number ways to start from (0, 0) and return traversing the matrix by using K steps only. 
Note: In each step, one can move up, down, left, right, or stay at the current position. The answer could be large, so print the answer modulo 10⁹ + 7
Examples:

Input: N = 2, M = 2, K = 2 
Output: 3 
Explanation:
Three ways are: 
1)Stay, Stay. 
2)Up, Down 
3)Right, Left
Input: N = 3, M = 3, K = 4 
Output: 23 

Approach: The problem can also be solved using Memoization technique. Follow the steps below to solve the problem: 

• Starting from position (0, 0), recursively call every possible position and decrease the value of steps by 1. 
  
• Create a 3D array of size N * M * K ( DP[N][M][S] ) 
  

Possible ways for each step
can be calculated by:

 DP[i][j][k]
  =  Recursion(i+1, j, k-1)  +
     Recursion(i-1, j, k-1)  +  
     Recursion(i, j-1, k-1)  +  
     Recursion(i, j+1, k-1)  +  
     Recursion(i, j, k-1).

With base condition returning 0,
whenever
i >= l or i = b or j < 0 or k < 0.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++

// C++ program to count total
// number of ways to return
// to origin after completing
// given number of steps.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define MOD 1000000007

long long dp[101][101][101];
int N, M, K;

// Function Initialize dp[][][]
// array with -1
void Initialize()
{

    for (int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j <= 100; j++)
            for (int z = 0; z <= 100; z++)
                dp[i][j][z] = -1;
}

// Function returns the total count
int CountWays(int i, int j, int k)
{
    if (i >= N || i < 0
        || j >= M || j < 0 || k < 0)
        return 0;

    if (i == 0 && j == 0
        && k == 0)
        return 1;

    if (dp[i][j][k] != -1)
        return dp[i][j][k];
    else
        dp[i][j][k]
            = (CountWays(i + 1, j, k - 1) % MOD
               + CountWays(i - 1, j, k - 1) % MOD
               + CountWays(i, j - 1, k - 1) % MOD
               + CountWays(i, j + 1, k - 1) % MOD
               + CountWays(i, j, k - 1) % MOD)
              % MOD;

    return dp[i][j][k];
}

// Driver Program
int main()
{
    N = 3;
    M = 3;
    K = 4;

    Initialize();
    cout << CountWays(0, 0, K)
         << "\n";

    return 0;
}
