Permutations (nPr) count the number of ordered arrangements of r items from n items. Order matters — ABC and BAC are different permutations of the same 3 letters.

Formel

P(n,r) = n! / (n−r)!
P
5×4×3 = 60 — 5×4×3 = 60

Trin-for-trin guide

  1. 1P(n,r) = n! / (n−r)!
  2. 2Order DOES matter (unlike combinations)
  3. 3P(n,n) = n! — all n items in order
  4. 4P(5,3) = 5×4×3 = 60

Løste eksempler

Input
Arrange 3 people from 8 in a row
