Given three integers N, M and P. The task is to count the number of possible ordered triplets of form (x, y, z) where
1 ≤ x ≤ N, 1 ≤ y ≤ M and 1 ≤ z ≤ P
Since this count can be very large, return the answer modulo 109 + 7.
Examples:
Input: N = 3, M = 3, P = 3
Output: 6
Explanation: The possible triplets are:
(1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 2), (2, 1, 3), (2, 3, 1), (3, 1, 2), (3, 2, 1)Input: N = 1, M = 2, P = 3
Output: 1
Explanation: Only one triplet is possible (1, 2, 3)
Approach: The solution is based on the following observation.
- Say after sorting the three numbers in ascending order they are A, B and C respectively.
- So there are A choices to choose first element.
- Now this choice is not available for choosing the second one. For second one there are total (B – 1) choices.
- Now these two choices are not available for the last. So there are only (C – 2) choices for third.
- Therefore the total number of possibilities are A * (B – 1) * (C – 2).
Follow the steps mentioned below to implement the above observation.
- Sort the three inputs in ascending order. Let the sorted order be (N1, N2, N3).
- Now apply the formula derived from the observation to get the final answer.
- Return the final answer modulo 109 + 7.
Below is the implementation of the above approach.
