26. Number of Dice Rolls With Target Sum

You have d dice, and each die has f faces numbered 1, 2, ..., f.

Return the number of possible ways (out of fd total ways) modulo 10^9 + 7 to roll the dice so the sum of the face up numbers equals target.

Example 1:
Input: d = 1, f = 6, target = 3
Output: 1
Explanation: 
You throw one die with 6 faces.  There is only one way to get a sum of 3.

Example 2:
Input: d = 2, f = 6, target = 7
Output: 6
Explanation: 
You throw two dice, each with 6 faces.  There are 6 ways to get a sum of 7:
1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1.


Example 3:
Input: d = 2, f = 5, target = 10
Output: 1
Explanation: 
You throw two dice, each with 5 faces.  There is only one way to get a sum of 10: 5+5.


Example 4:
Input: d = 1, f = 2, target = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: 
You throw one die with 2 faces.  There is no way to get a sum of 3.


Example 5:
Input: d = 30, f = 30, target = 500
Output: 222616187
Explanation: 
The answer must be returned modulo 10^9 + 7.

Solution: (Dp)

Counting the number of ways to get the target sum No of ways to get sum between 1-6 with one dice is 1 and to greater no is 0 Similarly checking for other dice

        vector<vector<int>> dp(d + 1, vector<int>(target + 1, 0));

        dp[0][0] = 1;
        for (int i = 1; i <= d; i++)
        {
            for (int j = 1; j <= target; j++)
            {
                for (int k = 1; k <= f; k++)
                {
                    if (k <= j)
                    {
                        dp[i][j] = (dp[i][j] + dp[i - 1][j - k]) % mod;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return dp[d][target];
    }
};

Time Complexity: O(d * target * f)
