For a complex torus of dimension nn, hp,q=(np)(nq)h^{p,q} = \binom{n}{p}\binom{n}{q}. Write torus_hodge(n) returning a dictionary {(p, q): h} for 0≤p,q≤n0 \le p, q \le n, and betti(h, n) returning the list [b0,…,b2n][b_0, \dots, b_{2n}] with bk=∑p+q=khp,qb_k = \sum_{p+q=k} h^{p,q}. The tests check the Betti numbers (2nk)\binom{2n}{k} of the real torus T2nT^{2n} and Hodge symmetry. (math.comb is available.)
