class Program
{
    static int[] Ria(string line = null)
    {
        line ??= Console.ReadLine();
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line)) return Array.Empty<int>();
        return line.Trim().Split(new[] { ' ', ',', '\t' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            .Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
    }
    static string[] Rsa()
    {
        int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        var arr = new string[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) arr[i] = Console.ReadLine();
        return arr;
    }
    static void W(params object[] parts) => Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", parts));
    static void Wb(bool v) => Console.WriteLine(v ? "true" : "false");
    static void Wi(int v) => Console.WriteLine(v);
    static void Ws(string v) => Console.WriteLine(v);

    static void Main()
    {
int m = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
int[] dp = new int[n];
Array.Fill(dp, 1);
for (int i = 1; i < m; i++)
    for (int j = 1; j < n; j++)
        dp[j] += dp[j - 1];
Wi(dp[n - 1]);
    }
}
