Problem Statement
????
You have several identical balls that you wish to place in several baskets. Each basket has the same maximum capacity. You are given an int baskets, the number of baskets you have. You are given an int capacity, the maximum capacity of each basket. Finally you are given an int balls, the number of balls to sort into baskets. Return the number of ways you can divide the balls into baskets. If this cannot be done without exceeding the capacity of the baskets, return 0.
Each basket is distinct, but all balls are identical. Thus, if you have two balls to place into two baskets, you could have (0, 2), (1, 1), or (2, 0), so there would be three ways to do this.
