69.Tight words

                             Tight words

Given is an alphabet {0, 1, ... , k}, 0 <= k <= 9 . We say that a word of length n over this alphabet is tight if any two neighbour digits in the word do not differ by more than 1.

Input is a sequence of lines, each line contains two integer numbers k and n, 1 <= n <= 100. For each line of input, output the percentage of tight words of length n over the alphabet {0, 1, ... , k} with 5 fractional digits.

Sample input

4 1
2 5
3 5
8 7

Output for the sample input

100.00000
40.74074
17.38281
0.10130

Tight Words sol in c:
#include stdio.h
#include math.h

/* let N(j,l) be the number of tight words of length j and ending in l */
/* N(j,l) = N(j-1,l-1)+N(j-1,l)+N(j-1,l+1) */

void compute(int nn, int kk)
{
double frac=0.0;
int i,j,k;
int N[101][10];

/* initialize */
for (j=0; jLEnn; j++)
for (k=0; kLEkk; k++)
