combination_sum_iv.py

"""
Question:
You are given an array of distinct integers and you have to tell how many
different ways of selecting the elements from the array are there such that
the sum of chosen elements is equal to the target number tar.

Example

Input:
N = 3
target = 5
array = [1, 2, 5]

Output:
9

Approach:
The basic idea is to go over recursively to find the way such that the sum
of chosen elements is “tar”. For every element, we have two choices
    1. Include the element in our set of chosen elements.
    2. Don’t include the element in our set of chosen elements.
