Euler Project question 15 in python way
# This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8
# Starting in the top left corner of a 2×2 grid, and only being able to move to the right and down, there are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner.
# How many such routes are there through a 20×20 grid?
# pictures see at https://projecteuler.net/problem=15
