Given a floor of size n x m and tiles of size 1 x m. The problem is to count the number of ways to tile the given floor using 1 x m tiles. A tile can either be placed horizontally or vertically.
Both n and m are positive integers and 2 < = m.
Examples:
Input : n = 2, m = 3 Output : 1 Only one combination to place two tiles of size 1 x 3 horizontally on the floor of size 2 x 3. Input : n = 4, m = 4 Output : 2 1st combination: All tiles are placed horizontally 2nd combination: All tiles are placed vertically.
This problem is mainly a more generalized approach to the Tiling Problem.
Approach: For a given value of n and m, the number of ways to tile the floor can be obtained from the following relation.
| 1, 1 < = n < m
count(n) = | 2, n = m
| count(n-1) + count(n-m), m < n

Output:
Number of ways = 5
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
