COMBIN(n,r)
- 'N' is the number of items.
- 'R' is the number of items in each arrangement.
Description
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 doesn't a matter, it is a combination. If order is the matter it is a permutation. A combination is dnoted by ncr or(n r). A formula for the number of possible combinations of R objects from a set of N objects is (n r)=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.
- COMBIN(5.4,2)=10 is equivalent to COMBIN(5,2)
- COMBIN(5,-2)=NAN, because R is negative.
