Number of Ways to Stay in the Same Place After Some Steps
<p>You have a pointer at index <code>0</code> in an array of size <code>arrLen</code>. At each step, you can move 1 position to the left, 1 position to the right in the array, or stay in the same place (The pointer should not be placed outside the array at any time).</p>

<p>Given two integers <code>steps</code> and <code>arrLen</code>, return the number of ways such that your pointer is still at index <code>0</code> after <strong>exactly</strong> <code>steps</code> steps. Since the answer may be too large, return it <strong>modulo</strong> <code>10<sup>9</sup> + 7</code>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> steps = 3, arrLen = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
<strong>Explanation: </strong>There are 4 differents ways to stay at index 0 after 3 steps.
Right, Left, Stay
Stay, Right, Left
Right, Stay, Left

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> steps = 2, arrLen = 4
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are 2 differents ways to stay at index 0 after 2 steps
Right, Left
Stay, Stay

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> steps = 4, arrLen = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 8

	<li><code>1 &lt;= steps &lt;= 500</code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= arrLen &lt;= 10<sup>6</sup></code></li>
