  1. 1

    Cases

    Partition the possible configurations so each valid outcome belongs to one case.
  2. 2

    Count

    Count each case using the independent choices identified by the task.
  3. 3

    Combine

    Sum the disjoint case counts and apply any required modulus or bound.
  4. 4

    Verify the sample

    Use the published sample output to check the result of this idea on the displayed input.
