Calculates the number of ways to choose `k` items from `n` items without repetition and without order.
|
|
|
|
- Use `math.comb()` to calculate the binomial coefficient.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from math import comb
|
|
|
|
def binomial_coefficient(n, k):
|
|
return comb(n, k)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
binomial_coefficient(8, 2) # 28
|
|
```
