Java Guava | binomial() method of IntMath Class

Last Updated : 23 Jan, 2019

The binomial(int n, int k) method of Guava's IntMath class accepts two parameters n and k and calculate the value of the binomial coefficient {n}\choose{k}. If the calculated value overflows the maximum value of an integer than the method returns Integer.MAX_VALUE or in other words the maximum value of an integer. Syntax :

public static int binomial(int n, int k)

Parameter: This method accepts two parameters n and k and calculate the value of the binomial coefficient {n}\choose{k}. Return Value : The method returns the binomial coefficient of n and k. Exceptions : The method binomial(int n, int k) throws IllegalArgumentException if n < 0, k < 0 or k > n. Below examples illustrate the binomial() method of IntMath class: Example 1 :

Java

// Java code to show implementation of
// binomial(int n, int k) method of Guava's
// IntMath class
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import com.google.common.math.IntMath;

class GFG {

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n = 5;
        int k = 2;

        // Using binomial(int n, int k) method of
        // Guava's IntMath class
        int ans = IntMath.binomial(n, k);

        System.out.println("Binomial Coefficient of " + n 
                              + " and " + k + " is : " + ans);

        int n1 = 15;
        int k1 = 9;

        // Using binomial(int n, int k) method of
        // Guava's IntMath class
        int ans1 = IntMath.binomial(n1, k1);

        System.out.println("Binomial Coefficient of " + n1 
                             + " and " + k1 + " is : " + ans1);
    }
}

Output:

Binomial Coefficient of 5 and 2 is : 10
Binomial Coefficient of 15 and 9 is : 5005

Example 2 :

Java

// Java code to show implementation of
// binomial(int n, int k) method of Guava's
// IntMath class
import java.math.RoundingMode;
import com.google.common.math.IntMath;

class GFG {

    static int findBinomial(int n, int k)
    {

        try {
            // Using binomial(int n, int k)
            // method of Guava's IntMath class
            // This should throw "IllegalArgumentException"
            // as k < 0
            int ans = IntMath.binomial(n, k);

            // Return the answer
            return ans;
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
            return -1;
        }
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n = 5;
        int k = 7;

        try {

            // Function calling
            findBinomial(n, k);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: k (7) > n (5)
