= Introduction =
Ploidy, alleles are independent characteristics that give rise to genotypes.
The VCF format encodes genotypes by the index of the enumeration of genotypes give a ploidy number and alleles.
Ploidy and alles are independent of one another while genotypes are a function of them.

= Motivation =
While there are explicit functions that could be googled for handling haploid and diploidy cases. It seems to be difficult to find the closed forms for the general case.
This wiki fills in that need. The cases where one requires such extensions is when pooled samples are studied or when plant species that exhibit a diverse number of
ploidy.
= The number of genotypes given a ploidy and alleles =
