#629 K Inverse Pairs Array

APPROACH

An inverse pair in an array is a pair of indices (i, j) with i < j and nums[i] > nums[j]. Given integers n and k, count all permutations of [1..n] that contain exactly k inverse pairs. Return the count modulo 109 + 7.

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, k = 0
Output: 1
Explanation: Only the array [1,2,3] which consists of numbers from 1 to 3 has exactly 0 inverse pairs.

Example 2:

Input: n = 3, k = 1
Output: 2
Explanation: The array [1,3,2] and [2,1,3] have exactly 1 inverse pair.
