Class: Permutations  - X-Ref

PERMUT($numObjs, $numInSet)   X-Ref
PERMUT.

Returns the number of permutations for a given number of objects that can be
selected from number objects. A permutation is any set or subset of objects or
events where internal order is significant. Permutations are different from
combinations, for which the internal order is not significant. Use this function
for lottery-style probability calculations.

return: float|int|string Number of permutations, or a string containing an error
param: mixed $numObjs Integer number of different objects
param: mixed $numInSet Integer number of objects in each permutation

PERMUTATIONA($numObjs, $numInSet)   X-Ref
PERMUTATIONA.

Returns the number of permutations for a given number of objects (with repetitions)
that can be selected from the total objects.

return: float|int|string Number of permutations, or a string containing an error
param: mixed $numObjs Integer number of different objects
param: mixed $numInSet Integer number of objects in each permutation
