+This is a python implementation for questions involving task assignments between people.
+Here Bitmasking and DP are used for solving this.
+
+Question :-
+We have N tasks and M people. Each person in M can do only certain of these tasks. Also a person can do only one task and a task is performed only by one person.
+Find the total no of ways in which the tasks can be distributed.
