Question
  1. The binomial coefficient (n, k) is an integer equal to

 

(n, k) = n! / [k! (n – k)!]

 

Note that

 

n! = n(n – 1)(n – 2) … (1)

 

and that 0! = 1.

 

  1. a) Using this form for the binomial coefficient, write a Python user-defined function

binomial(n,k) that calculates the binomial coefficient for given n and k. Make sure your function returns the answer in the form of an integer (not a float) and gives the correct value of 1 for the case where k = 0.

Use phyton code to answer,
