      with_item = dp(index, acc + denominations[index], memo) 
      without_item = dp(index + 1, acc, memo)

      result = with_item + without_item
      memo[(index, acc)] = result

      return result
    
    return dp(0, 0, {})

Why is this check done in the recursive helper function instead of in the count_change function? denominations list never changes, right?

n = len(denominations) if n == 0
