494. Target Sum
https://leetcode.com/problems/target-sum/
You are given a list of non-negative integers, a1, a2, ..., an, and a target, S. Now you have 2 symbols
+ and -. For each integer, you should choose one from + and - as its new symbol.Find out how many ways to assign symbols to make sum of integers equal to target S.
Example 1:
Input: nums is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1], S is 3. Output: 5 Explanation: -1+1+1+1+1 = 3 +1-1+1+1+1 = 3 +1+1-1+1+1 = 3 +1+1+1-1+1 = 3 +1+1+1+1-1 = 3 There are 5 ways to assign symbols to make the sum of nums be target 3.
Note:
- The length of the given array is positive and will not exceed 20.
- The sum of elements in the given array will not exceed 1000.
- Your output answer is guaranteed to be fitted in a 32-bit integer.

Intuition
Number of ways => DFS
At each array index, we have two choices, + , -
Terminate recursion when index == A.length *
