Combination Permutation

 it simply concerns  It associated with


about combining arranging things in
things different order
 for combination the  for permutation, the
order does not matter order matters

Differentiation Illustration
Sample: 1, 2,3 Sample: 1, 2,3
In how may ways can we In how many different ways can
combine the numbers? we arrange the numbers?

Take a look at 123 & 321, We can make a list like:


In terms of permutation- they
are counted as two separate 123 213 312
things but for combination you 132 231 321
are just combining the same
number
Why?
Because in combination the
order does not matter, they are
counted once because they are
identical combinations

-That’s why, if we are going to


count 123, we cannot count 322
-Same goes for 213 and 312
And if we are going to use 231,
we cannot count 132
So the number of combination is So there is a total of 6 different
equal to 3 ways was can arrange the
Combination= 3 numbers
Permutation= 6
