Cumulative binomial count · case 03
An exact-cardinality count replaces a cumulative count.
Case contract
Nonnegative integer counts. Permutation and combination counts are zero when a requested selection exceeds the available objects. Shape sizes satisfy the preconditions stated below. Cumulative binomial count. Exact operational definition: sum(math.comb(n,i) for i in range(min(n,k)+1))
Why this case matters
Small exact fixtures expose this error without platform timing, external services, or probabilistic observations. Combinatorics results depend on the stated convention.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| fixture 1: (4, 2) | 6 | 11 | Failed |
