Combinations and Difference between Combinations and Permutations

Each of the different selections made by taking some or all of a number of objects, irrespective of their arrangement is called a combination.


Difference between Combinations and Permutations

In a combination, the ordering of the selected objects is immaterial whereas in a permutation, the ordering is essential. For example AB and BA are same as combinations, but different as permutations.

Associate the word selection for combinations and arrangement for permuations.
