number_of_possible_binary_trees.py

"""
Hey, we are going to find an exciting number called Catalan number which is use to find
the number of possible binary search trees from tree of a given number of nodes.

We will use the formula: t(n) = SUMMATION(i = 1 to n)t(i-1)t(n-i)

Further details at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number
"""
"""
Our Contribution:
Basically we Create the 2 function:
    1. catalan_number(node_count: int) -> int
        Returns the number of possible binary search trees for n nodes.
    2. binary_tree_count(node_count: int) -> int
        Returns the number of possible binary trees for n nodes.
