1223. Dice Roll Simulation (Medium)

A die simulator generates a random number from 1 to 6 for each roll. You introduced a constraint to the generator such that it cannot roll the number i more than rollMax[i] (1-indexed) consecutive times. 

Given an array of integers rollMax and an integer n, return the number of distinct sequences that can be obtained with exact n rolls.

Two sequences are considered different if at least one element differs from each other. Since the answer may be too large, return it modulo 10^9 + 7.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 2, rollMax = [1,1,2,2,2,3]
Output: 34
Explanation: There will be 2 rolls of die, if there are no constraints on the die, there are 6 * 6 = 36 possible combinations. In this case, looking at rollMax array, the numbers 1 and 2 appear at most once consecutively, therefore sequences (1,1) and (2,2) cannot occur, so the final answer is 36-2 = 34.

Example 2:

Input: n = 2, rollMax = [1,1,1,1,1,1]
Output: 30

Example 3:

Input: n = 3, rollMax = [1,1,1,2,2,3]
Output: 181

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= n <= 5000
• rollMax.length == 6
• 1 <= rollMax[i] <= 15
