Given N number of stairs. Also given the number of steps that one can cover at most in one leap (K). The task is to find the number of possible ways one (only consider combinations) can climb to the top of the building in K leaps or less from the ground floor.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 5, K = 3 
Output:
To reach stair no-5 we can choose following combination of leaps: 
1 1 1 1 1 
1 1 1 2 
1 2 2 
1 1 3 
2 3 
Therefore the answer is 5.
Input: N = 29, K = 5 
Output: 603 
 

 

Let combo[i] be the number of ways to reach the i-th floor. Hence the number of ways to reach combo[i] from combo[j] by taking a leap of i-j will be combo[i] += combo[j]. So iterate for all possible leaps, and for each possible leaps keep adding the possible combinations to the combo array. The final answer will be stored in combo[N]. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach. 
 

C++




// C++ program to reach N-th stair
// by taking a maximum of K leap
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
int solve(int N, int K)
{
 
    // elements of combo[] stores the no of
    // possible ways to reach it by all
    // combinations of k leaps or less
 
    int combo[N + 1] = { 0 };
 
    // assuming leap 0 exist and assigning
    // its value to 1 for calculation
    combo[0] = 1;
 
    // loop to iterate over all
    // possible leaps upto k;
    for (int i = 1; i <= K; i++) {
 
        // in this loop we count all possible
        // leaps to reach the jth stair with
        // the help of ith leap or less
        for (int j = 0; j <= N; j++) {
 
            // if the leap is not more than the i-j
            if (j >= i) {
 
                // calculate the value and
                // store in combo[j]
                // to reuse it for next leap
                // calculation for the jth stair
                combo[j] += combo[j - i];
            }
        }
    }
 
    // returns the no of possible number
    // of leaps to reach the top of
    // building of n stairs
    return combo[N];
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // N i the no of total stairs
    // K is the value of the greatest leap
    int N = 29;
    int K = 5;
 
    cout << solve(N, K);
 
     
    return 0;
}
