A path of length n is a sequence of points (x_(1),y_(1)) , (x_(2),y_(2)) ,…., (x_(n),y_(n)) with integer coordinates such that for all i between 1 and n-1 both inclusive, either x_(i+1)=x_(i)+1 and y_(i+1)=y_(i) (in which case we say the i^(th) step is rightward) or x_(i+1)=x_(i) and y_(i+1)=y_(i)+1 ( in which case we say that the i^(th) step is upward ). This path is said to start at (x_(1),y_(1)) and end at (x_(n),y_(n)) . Let P(a,b) , for a and b non-negative integers, denotes the number of paths that start at (0,0) and end at (a,b) .
