 Write a function ''most.impact()'' that takes as input two ''k1'' and ''n1'' integers, and in the list of ''n1'' most mutated genes, finds the names of the ''k1'' genes with the best impact. Your function should return the names of the best ''k1'' genes (i.e., the set of genes with the best log-rank p-value), and also their impact. Run your function for ''k1=3'', and ''n1=3'', ''10'', and ''100''. What is the biological interpretation of your results? Write a function ''most.impact()'' that takes as input two ''k1'' and ''n1'' integers, and in the list of ''n1'' most mutated genes, finds the names of the ''k1'' genes with the best impact.

 +Solution 2: Use another R function that uses ''utils::c?m?n()''. 
 + 
 +Deliverables are similar to question 2 plus you need to guess the above question marks and copy the line of the code on which ''c?m?n()'' is used in a short paragraph titled “Question marks”.
  
 **Bonus**: Implement the ''utils::c?m?n()'' function yourself using dynamic programming. Compare the running time of your implementation vs. the utils implementations using large inputs that require at least a couple of minutes. **Bonus**: Implement the ''utils::c?m?n()'' function yourself using dynamic programming.
