Discrete Mathematics
The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; consider strings of length 5.
Consider the number of such strings
1. The number of strings all digits are distinct
2. The number of strings where the digits are strictly increasing (the next digit > previous digit
3. How  many strings do not contain the string “1 2 3 4”

Asking for ideas in approaching this problem.
