Problem Statement
For every pair of positive integers
(
x
,
y
)
(x, y)
(
x
,
y
)
we define
f
(
x
,
y
)
f(x,y)
f
(
x
,
y
)
as follows:
f
(
x
,
1
)
=
x
f(x,1) = x
f
(
x
,
1
)
=
x
f
(
x
,
y
)
=
0
f(x,y) = 0
f
(
x
,
y
)
=
0
if
y
>
x
y > x
y
>
x
f
(
x
+
1
,
y
)
=
y
[
f
(
x
,
y
)
+
f
(
x
,
y
ā
1
)
]
f(x +1,y) = y[f(x,y)+ f(x, y-1)]
f
(
x
+
1
,
y
)
=
y
[
f
(
x
,
y
)
+
f
(
x
,
y
ā
1
)]
Evaluate
f
(

)
f(5, 5)
f
(
