One Sunday when the lady had chained / him up as usual and was about half-way / through the forest, she suddenly thought / she hears the cracking of a tree-branch.

It was said that if you / yawned beneath the tree, / the pret would jumped down / your throat and ruin your digestion.

Gregor Mendel was born in a poor farmer’s family in Austria in 1822. He was very fond of studies but the very thought of examinations made him nervous. He did not have money to study at the University so he thought of becoming a ‘monk’ in a monastery. He thought from there he would be sent to study further. Which he was. But to become a science teacher, he had to take an exam. He got so nervous that he kept running away from the exam and kept failing! But he did not stop doing experiments. For seven years, he did experiments on 28,000 plants in the garden of the monastery. He worked hard, collected many observations and made a new discovery! Something which scientists at that time could not even understand! They understood it many years after his death, when other scientists did such experiments and read what Mendel had already written. What did Mendel find in those plants? He found that the pea plant has some traits which come in pairs.

Like the seed is either rough or smooth. It is either yellow or green, and the height of the plant is either tall or short. Nothing in between. The next generation (the children) of the plant which has either rough or smooth seeds will also have seeds which are rough or smooth. There is no seed which is mixed—a bit smooth and a bit rough. He found the same with colour. Seeds which are either green or yellow give rise to new seeds which are either green or yellow. The next generation does not have seeds with a mixed new colour made from both green and yellow. Mendel showed that in the next generation of pea plants, there will be more plants having yellow seeds. He also showed that the next generation will have more plants with smooth seeds. What a discovery!

Two girls are playing with the balls. They are having green, yellow and red balls. The task is to find in how many ways they can place these balls in straight so that no two balls of the same type are next to each other.

Example:

Example 1:

Input:

Green (G) = 1, Yellow(Y) = 1, Red(R) = 0

There are only two arrangements GY and YG

Output:

Output: 2

Explanation:

The program uses recursive function calls to list the ways in which the balls can be placed, and these function calls use the call to store the average values.

Constraints and Input/Output Format:

Constraints:

For each ball placement, there are three possibilities (G, Y, or R) and there are n balls in total. Therefore, the total number of possible arrangements is 3^n.

Input Format:

G = 1, Y = 1, R = 1

There are only six arrangements

GYR,

YGR,

YRG,

RYG, GRY and

RGY

Output Format:

Output: 6
