How it works

Permutations count ordered selections, n! / (n − r)!, while combinations count unordered selections, n! / (r! (n − r)!). Both are computed iteratively to avoid overflow.

Frequently asked questions

When do I use combinations?

When order does not matter, such as choosing 5 lottery numbers from 49.

When do I use permutations?

When order matters, such as ranking the top three finishers in a race.
