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 $n!=1*2*3*...*n$ & $r\leq n$ .
This function will give Error Result when

When we are giving the $n$ & $r$ values in decimals, it will automatically convert into Integers.
For e.g.
- COMBIN(5.4,2)=10 is equivalent to COMBIN(5,2)
- COMBIN(5,-2)=NAN, because $r$ is negative.
