title: Cut a rectangle
challengeType: 5
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
A given rectangle is made from <i>m</i> × <i>n</i> squares. If <i>m</i> and <i>n</i> are not both odd, then it is possible to cut a path through the rectangle along the square edges such that the rectangle splits into two connected pieces with the same shape (after rotating one of the pieces by 180°). All such paths for 2 × 2 and 4 × 3 rectangles are shown below.
<a href="http://rosettacode.org/wiki/file:rect-cut.svg">file:rect-cut.svg</a>
Write a function that calculates the number of different ways to cut an <i>m</i> × <i>n</i> rectangle.

``` yml
tests:
- text: <code>cutRectangle</code> should be a function.
testString: assert(typeof cutRectangle == 'function', '<code>cutRectangle</code> should be a function.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(2, 2)</code> should return a number.
testString: assert(typeof cutRectangle(2, 2) == 'number', '<code>cutRectangle(2, 2)</code> should return a number.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(2, 2)</code> should return <code>2</code>.
testString: assert.equal(cutRectangle(2, 2), 2, '<code>cutRectangle(2, 2)</code> should return <code>2</code>.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(4, 3)</code> should return <code>9</code>.
testString: assert.equal(cutRectangle(4, 3), 9, '<code>cutRectangle(4, 3)</code> should return <code>9</code>.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(4, 4)</code> should return <code>22</code>.
testString: assert.equal(cutRectangle(4, 4), 22, '<code>cutRectangle(4, 4)</code> should return <code>22</code>.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(8, 3)</code> should return <code>53</code>.
testString: assert.equal(cutRectangle(8, 3), 53, '<code>cutRectangle(8, 3)</code> should return <code>53</code>.');
- text: <code>cutRectangle(7, 4)</code> should return <code>151</code>.
testString: assert.equal(cutRectangle(7, 4), 151, '<code>cutRectangle(7, 4)</code> should return <code>151</code>.');
