How to calculate combination and permutation in C++?
Combination and permutation are a part of Combinatorics. Permutation is the different arrangements that a set of elements can make if the elements are taken one at a time, some at a time or all at a time. Combination is is the different ways of selecting elements if the elements are taken one at a time, some at a time or all at a time.
Number of permutations when there are total n elements and r elements need to be arranged.
Number of combinations when there are total n elements and r elements need to be selected.
A program that calculates combination and permutation in C++ is given as follows.
Example
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int fact(int n) { if (n == 0 || n == 1) return 1; else return n * fact(n - 1); } int main() { int n, r, comb, per; cout<<"Enter n : "; cin>>n; cout<<"\nEnter r : "; cin>>r; comb = fact(n) / (fact(r) * fact(n-r)); cout << "\nCombination : " << comb; per = fact(n) / fact(n-r); cout << "\nPermutation : " << per; return 0; }
Output
The output of the above program is as follows.
Enter n : 5 Enter r : 3 Combination : 10 Permutation : 60
