Codey and Painted Tree

Question
Codey loves solving challenging problems, and today, Codey faces a unique task.
A tree is a connected and undirected graph without cycles. Codey is given a tree with n
nodes and n-1
edges. Initially, every node in the tree is painted white. Codey can choose to paint some of the nodes black. Codey's goal is to find the number of ways to paint the tree such that, in each of these ways, the number of unique b-path is exactly m
. Codey is excited to tackle this problem and find a solution.
A b-path is a sequence of nodes ,where and it follows these rules:
Each adjacent pair of nodes in the sequence is connected by an edge.
Each node in the sequence is distinct.
It starts in a node painted black and ends in a node painted black.
Two b-paths are considered different if the sets of nodes used in the sequence are different.
Your task is to help Codey solve this problem and output the number of valid ways to paint the tree, considering the restrictions, and then return the answer modulo . Recall that a
modulo b
is the remainder of when a
divided by b
.
Input Format
The first line contains two integers, n
and m
, where n
represents the number of nodes in the tree, and m
represents the number of b-path.
Then following n-1
lines describe the tree, where each of them contain two integers u
, v
, which represents the endpoints of the corresponding edge.
Constraints
Output Format
Output the number of ways to paint the tree with m
b-path modulo .
