'''
The number of partitions of a number n into at least k parts equals the number of partitions into exactly k parts
plus the number of partitions into at least k-1 parts. Subtracting 1 from each part of a partition of n into k parts
gives a partition of n-k into k parts. These two facts together are used for this algorithm.
