Problem

Your music player contains N different songs and she wants to listen to L (not necessarily different) songs during your trip.  You create a playlist so that:

• Every song is played at least once
• A song can only be played again only if K other songs have been played

Return the number of possible playlists.  As the answer can be very large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: N = 3, L = 3, K = 1
Output: 6
Explanation: There are 6 possible playlists. [1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 2], [2, 1, 3], [2, 3, 1], [3, 1, 2], [3, 2, 1].

Example 2:

Input: N = 2, L = 3, K = 0
Output: 6
Explanation: There are 6 possible playlists. [1, 1, 2], [1, 2, 1], [2, 1, 1], [2, 2, 1], [2, 1, 2], [1, 2, 2]

Example 3:

Input: N = 2, L = 3, K = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 possible playlists. [1, 2, 1], [2, 1, 2]

Note:

1. 0 <= K < N <= L <= 100

Solution: DP

dp[i][j] := # of playlists of length i using j different songs.

dp[i][j] = dp[i – 1][j – 1] * (N – (j – 1))  +  // Adding a new song. j – 1 used, choose any one from (N – (j – 1)) unused.
dp[i -1][j] * max(j – K, 0)         // Reuse an existing song.

Time complexity: O(LN)

Space complexity: O(LN) -> O(N)
