Language/Type: Java recursion
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2020/11/05)

Write a recursive method called solve that takes integers x and y as parameters and that prints all solutions for traveling from (0, 0) to (x, y) using one of three moves: 

        North (abbreviation N):      move up 1 (increase y)
        East (abbreviation E):       move right 1 (increase x)
        NorthEast (abbreviation NE): move up 1 and right 1 (increase both)

For example, if passed the values 1 and 2, it should print the following solutions: 

        solutions:
        moves: N N E
        moves: N NE
        moves: N E N
        moves: NE N
        moves: E N N
