Problem

Your music player contains <code>n</code> different songs. You want to listen to <code>goal</code> songs (not necessarily different) during your trip. To avoid boredom, you will create a playlist so that: <ul> <li>Every song is played <strong>at least once</strong>.</li> <li>A song can only be played again only if <code>k</code> other songs have been played.</li> </ul> <p>Given <code>n</code>, <code>goal</code>, and <code>k</code>, return <em>the number of possible playlists that you can create</em>. Since the answer can be very large, return it <strong>modulo</strong> <code>10<sup>9</sup> + 7</code>.</p>

Examples

Constraints

  • 0 <= k < n <= goal <= 100
