Count Good Strings
Problem Overview
- Given N, count length-2N strings over A and B that are "good": exactly N A's, N B's, and in every prefix count(A) ≥ count(B).
- Input: integer N; Output: number of good strings modulo 10000.
- Domain: string combinatorics and prefix-balance validation, akin to balanced sequences.
- This coding interview problem is a Commvault interview question from their interviews.
- Large counts are expected; require modulo handling.
