Approach

We can simulate the whole process by brute force. First we allot the i candies to the first child, then out of remaining s-i candies we allot j to the second child. Now if the number of candies left are less than or equal to K we can allot the remaining candies to the third child and we get a valid allotment.Otherwise we get an invalid allotment.

Time Complexity - O(K^2)

Pseudocode

ll ans=0;
 for(ll i(0);i<=min(s,k);++i){ // alloting to first child
    for(ll j(0);j<=min(k,s-i);++j){ // alloting to second child
        ans+=(k>=(s-i-j)); // checking if the allotment is valid
    }
 }
 return ans;
