Increasing Lap Run Patterns
A runner plans to run n laps to exercise. He intends to complete these laps in multiple sessions (more than one), and in each session he runs a positive integer number of laps. After each session he takes a rest before continuing.
To effectively boost his endurance, he decides that in each subsequent session he must run more laps than in the previous session. Assuming he starts from 0 laps, the problem is to determine in how many different ways he can finish running exactly n laps.
Formally, if we denote the number of laps in each session by \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k\) where \(k > 1\), the following conditions must hold:
- \(a_i\) is a positive integer for all \(i\).
- \(a_1 < a_2 < \ldots < a_k\).
- \(a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_k = n\).
Output the number of different ways to partition n into an increasing sequence of positive integers (with at least 2 terms).
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer n (\(n\geq 1\)).
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the number of ways to partition n into a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers, where the sequence has at least two elements.
