Math Question

OK, I got a question and I hope that some math guru can help me out. I’m trying to figure out how many combinations can be made. You have an object that can have up to 10 options applied to it and can be any number of options so they could have none or all ten or any combination but no repeats. Any one knows how to figure this out?

I tried but but I don't know the name of the type of formula and everything I've tried so far comes up with nothing. If someone could give me the right key word that would help too.

"Since all normal digits are used, there are 10000 possible combinations.
Calculate it by taking the number of possibilities in the first spot, 10,
times the number in the second (10), the third, fourth and so on: 10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10*10 =
10000000000"

Somethin like that

Thats right.

but if there cant be repeats then obviously it will be less because there will only be 9 possible numbers after the first one..

I love math.

I made a thread recently in another forum where everyone challenges me with the craziest math problems just so I can test my math skills for future tests. I did pretty good. big grin

So that would be...

10*10*9*8*7*6...?

Indeed...because it would be 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2.

If no combinations can be repeated...it HAS to be this way.

Also: ABS, your brains make you even sexier.

Double edit- Pittman, are you writing a permutation program?
