### binomialCoefficient
|
||||
|
||||
Evaluates the binomial coefficient of two integers `n` and `k`.
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Number.isNaN()` to check if any of the two values is `NaN`.
|
||||
Check if `k` is less than `0`, greater than or equal to `n`, equal to `1` or `n - 1` and return the appropriate result.
|
||||
Check if `n - k` is less than `k` and switch their values accordingly.
|
||||
Loop from `2` through `k` and calculate the binomial coefficient.
|
||||
Use `Math.round()` to account for rounding errors in the calculation.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const binomialCoefficient = (n, k) => {
|
||||
if (Number.isNaN(n) || Number.isNaN(k)) return NaN;
|
||||
if (k < 0 || k > n) return 0;
|
||||
if (k === 0 || k === n) return 1;
|
||||
if (k === 1 || k === n - 1) return n;
|
||||
if (n - k < k) k = n - k;
|
||||
let res = n;
|
||||
for (let j = 2; j <= k; j++) res *= (n - j + 1) / j;
|
||||
return Math.round(res);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
binomialCoefficient(8, 2); // 28
|
||||
```
