//How many routes from the top left corner to the bottom right corner are there through a 20×20 grid if you can only move right and down?
//Unless otherwise listed all non-standard includes are my own creation and available from https://bibucket.org/Mattrixwv/JavaClasses
//This program has not been tested fully and has not even been run to completion because of the long time it takes to run
