public static double value(int n,
                           int k)
```
    Computes the binomial coefficient.
    The largest value of n for which all coefficients can fit into a double is 1029. Larger n may result in infinity depending on the value of k.
    Any min(k, n - k) >= 515 cannot fit into a double and will result in infinity.
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - Size of the set.
    
    k - Size of the subsets to be counted.
    
    Returns:
    
    n choose k.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if n < 0, k < 0 or k > n.
