Permut

Syntax

Permut(SetSize, SampleSize)

Parameters

SetSize. A value determining the number of objects. The value must satisfy the constraints:

SetSize > 0;
SetSize >= SampleSize;

SampleSize. A value determining the number of objects in each permutation. The value must satisfy the constraint: SampleSize >= 0.

Description

The method returns the number of permutations for a specified number of objects.

Comments

A permutation is any set or subset of objects or events whose internal order has significance. Permutations are different from combinations, for which the internal order is not significant.

The function can be used for lottery-style probability calculations.
