| 12 | +--- |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Problem Description |
| 15 | +You are given two integers n and k. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Initially, you start with an array a of n integers where `a[i] = 1 for all 0 <= i <= n - 1`. After each second, you simultaneously update each element to be the sum of all its preceding elements plus the element itself. For example, after one second, a[0] remains the same, a[1] becomes a[0] + a[1], a[2] becomes a[0] + a[1] + a[2], and so on. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Return the value of a[n - 1] after k seconds. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Since the answer may be very large, return it modulo 109 + 7. |
| 22 | + |

| 61 | +### Constraints |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- `1 <= n, k <= 1000` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Solution for Find the N-th Value After K Seconds Problem |
| 66 | +### Approach |
| 67 | +The problem essentially involves calculating the prefix sum of an array iteratively over a given number of seconds K. Each element in the array represents a value that is derived from summing up all previous elements in the array (including itself) from the previous iteration. The goal is to determine the value of the N-th element in the array after K seconds. |
| 68 | +### Steps |
| 69 | +- Start with an array of size N where all elements are initialized to 1. This represents the array at time t=0. |
| 70 | +- For each second from 1 to K, update the array by calculating the prefix sum for each element. This means that each element at position i (0-indexed) will be updated to the sum of all elements from position 0 to i of the previous iteration. |
| 71 | +- After K seconds, return the value of the N-th element in the array. |

| 76 | + #### Implementation |
| 77 | + ```jsx live |
| 78 | + function Solution(arr) { |
| 79 | + function valueAfterKSeconds(n, k) { |
| 80 | + let arr = new Array(n).fill(1); |
| 81 | + const mod = 1000000007; |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + for (let i = 1; i <= k; i++) { |
| 84 | + let prefix = new Array(n).fill(0); |
| 85 | + prefix[0] = arr[0] % mod; |
| 86 | + for (let j = 1; j < n; j++) { |
| 87 | + prefix[j] = (prefix[j - 1] + arr[j]) % mod; |
| 88 | + } |
| 89 | + arr = prefix; |
| 90 | + } |
| 91 | + return arr[n - 1]; |
| 92 | + } |
| 93 | + const input = 4; |
| 94 | + const k = 5 |
| 95 | + const output = valueAfterKSeconds(input , k) ; |
| 96 | + return ( |
| 97 | + <div> |
| 98 | + <p> |
| 99 | + <b>Input: </b> |
| 100 | + {JSON.stringify(input)} |
| 101 | + </p> |
| 102 | + <p> |
| 103 | + <b>Output:</b> {output.toString()} |
| 104 | + </p> |
| 105 | + </div> |
| 106 | + ); |
| 107 | + } |
| 108 | + ``` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | + #### Complexity Analysis |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | + - Time Complexity: $ O(N*K) $ because of Nested Loops |
| 113 | + - Space Complexity: $ O(N) $ because of prefix array |
