计算非N周期的不同规则括号序列

给定一个整数N ，任务是找到可以使用2 * N个括号形成的不同括号序列的数量，以使该序列不是N周期的。

A bracket sequence str of length 2 * N is said to be N-periodic if the sequence can be split into two equal substrings having same regular bracket sequence.
A regular bracket sequence is a sequence in the following way:

• An empty string is a regular bracket sequence.
• If s & t are regular bracket sequences, then s + t is a regular bracket sequence.

例子：

Input: N = 3 
Output: 5 
Explanation: 
There will be 5 distinct regular bracket sequences of length 2 * N = ()()(), ()(()), (())(), (()()), ((())) 
Now, none of the sequences are N-periodic. Therefore, the output is 5.

Input: N = 4 
Output: 12 
Explanation: 
There will be 14 distinct regular bracket sequences of length 2*N which are 
()()()(), ()()(()), ()(())(), ()(()()), ()((())), (())()(), (())(()), (()())(), (()()()), (()(())), ((()))(), ((())()), ((()())), (((()))) 
Out of these 14 regular sequences, two of them are N periodic which are 
()()()() and (())(()). They have a period of N. 
Therefore, the distinct regular bracket sequences of length 2 * N which are not N-periodic are 14 – 2 = 12.

方法：想法是计算可能的长度为2 * N的规则括号序列的总数，然后从中减去N周期的括号序列的数量。步骤如下：

1. 要查找长度为2 * N的常规括号序列的数量，请使用加泰罗尼亚语公式。
2. 对于长度为2 * N的序列为N个周期，N应该是偶数，因为如果N为奇数，则长度2 * N的序列就不能为规则序列，并且周期为N。
3. 由于两个相似的非规则括号序列的串联不能使序列规则，因此长度N的两个子序列都应是规则的。
4. 从长度为2 * N的常规括号序列的数量中减少长度为N (如果N为偶数)的规则括号序列的数量，以获得所需的结果。

下面是上述方法的实现：

        res *= (n - i);
        res /= (i + 1);
    }
 
    // Return the C(n, k)
