Binomial By Recursion

Write choose(n: int, k: int) -> int that returns the number of ways to pick k items out of n, using Pascal's rule by recursion: when k is 0 or k equals n there is exactly 1 way; otherwise the count is choose(n - 1, k - 1) (the ways that include one particular item) plus choose(n - 1, k) (the ways that leave it out). The tests keep n at 12 or below. Do NOT write a main block or any top-level test code; the tests construct the calls. Input: two lines, n then k, no prompts, which the tests read and pass to your function before printing the value it returns.

Expected Output:

10

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
