Description

Problem A

Expression Bracketing

Input: standard input

Output: standard output

Time Limit: 1 second

Memory Limit: 32 MB

Inthis problem you will have to find in how many ways n letters can be bracketed so that the bracketing is non-binarybracketing. For example 4 lettershave 11 possible bracketing:

xxxx, (xx)xx, x(xx)x, xx(xx),(xxx)x, x(xxx), ((xx)x)x, (x(xx))x, (xx)(xx), x((xx)x), x(x(xx)). Of these the first sixbracketing are not binary. Given the number of letters you will have to findthe total number of non-binary bracketing.

Input

Theinput file contains several lines of input. Each line contains a single integern (0<n<=26). Input isterminated by end of file.

Output

For each line of input produce one line of outputwhich denotes the number of non binary bracketing with n letters.

题意：假设p。q是要求的串，那么（p。q）也满足。求全部不可能的条件

思路：我们先求满足的，能够想象的到，这个跟卡特兰数的思路是类似的，都是将串分成(1, n-1), (2, n-2)....考虑的，可是全部的情况可能就难求了。了解后是个叫

Super Catalan Number 的序列，相减求结果，可是注意卡特兰数都从0開始的

ll catalan[maxn], supper[maxn];

void init() {
	supper[0] = supper[1] = supper[2] = 1;
	for (int i = 3; i < maxn; i++) 
		supper[i] = (3*(2*i-3)*supper[i-1] - (i-3)*supper[i-2])/i;
	catalan[0] = catalan[1] = 1;
	catalan[2] = 2;
	catalan[3] = 5;
	for (int i = 4; i < maxn; i++) 
		for (int j = 0; j < i; j++)
			catalan[i] += catalan[j] * catalan[i-j-1];
