COMBIN(N,R)

This function gives the combination of N objects.
i.e. An arrangement of R objects without any repetition, selected from N different objects is called a combination of N objects taken R at a time.
Also if the order is not a matter, it is a Combination.
If order is a matter it is a Permutation.
A combination is denoted by nCr or ${\binom {n}{r}}$ .
A formula for the number of possible combinations of R objects from a set of N objects is ${\binom {n}{r}}={\frac {n!}{r!(n-r)!}}$ where n!=1*2*3*...*n& r<=n.
This function will give the result is Error when
1.The N&R are non numeric
2.The N&R<0 or N<R
When we are giving the N&R values in decimals ,it will convert in to Integers.
For e.g.
- COMBIN(5.4,2)=10 is equivalent to COMBIN(5,2)
- COMBIN(5,-2)=NAN, because R is negative.
