Comination Algorithm, Order Matters, Souce Code
Hello, I visited mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/combinations-permutations-calculator.html and would like to get the source code for the combination where order matters and no repeats.
The one that is n!/(n-r)!
I would be using it for a program I am making that outputs all possible tetrahedral molecules.
Thanks!

Hi JonathanS;
There is some confusion here.
like to get the source code for the combination where order matters and no repeats.
When order matters it is called a permutation.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Hi JonathanS;
You should be able to find many of them.
