Board Path

P
package com.thealgorithms.dynamicprogramming;

/*
* this is an important Algo in which
* we have starting and ending of board and we have to reach
* we have to count no. of ways
* that help to reach end point i.e number by rolling dice
* which have 1 to 6 digits

Test Case:
here target is 10

int n=10;
                startAlgo();
                System.out.println(bpR(0,n));
                System.out.println(endAlgo()+"ms");
                int[] strg=new int [n+1];
                startAlgo();
                System.out.println(bpRS(0,n,strg));
                System.out.println(endAlgo()+"ms");
                startAlgo();
                System.out.println(bpIS(0,n,strg));
                System.out.println(endAlgo()+"ms");
