This Challenge is derived from <a href = "http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/8274486/dashboard#s=p2">GJam March 2016 Annual I/O for Polynesiaglot</a>. This is the first very small set.The GJam story goes that words are such that consonants are always followed by a vowel. Determine the number of possible words of length L using C consonants and V vowels.Input: [C V L] , C=1, V=1, 1&lt;=L&lt;=15Output: [Q]Examples: [C V L] [Q]<pre class="language-matlab">[1 1 4] [5] {aaaa,aaba,abaa,baaa,baba} invalid are {bbaa, aaab}
