Problem statement

Consider all codes made of four digits (0-9). How many of them have a sum of digits equal to S? For example, for S = 4, there are 35 such codes in total. Some of them are 0022, 1003, 1111, 2020, 4000.

Write a function in the editor 👉

that, given an integer S, returns the number of four-digit codes whose sum of digits is equal to S.

Assume that:

  • S is an integer within the range [0..36]

In your solution, focus on correctness. The performance of your solution will not be the focus of this assessment.

Function

googleCountWithSumS(S: int) → int

Examples

Example 1

S = 35return = 4
The posible code are 9998, 9989, 9899, 8999, The function should return 4 :)

Example 2

S = 4return = 35
Google says there is no explanation 😱

Example 3

S = 2return = 10
Google expects us to know the explanation by this point 👻

Constraints

S is an integer within the range [0..36].
