The act of permuting; exchange of the thing for another; mutual transference; interchange.
The arrangement of any determinate number of things, as units, objects, letters, etc., in all possible orders, one after the other; -- called also alternation. Cf. Combination, n., 4.
Any one of such possible arrangements.
One of the possible arrangements of a particular set of characters.
Each individual way of arranging items, where a differing serial order counts as a different way.
An ordered arrangement of distinct items.
The number of ways of selecting objects from distinguishable objects without replacement when order of selection is important.=n (n-1) (n-2) . . . (n-r+1)
A situation in which order matters. In general, the number of permutations of things taken at a time is denoted as P(n,m) and is calculated by evaluating the expression [ DMTA, p. 275
A way to arrange things in which order is important.
The order of multiple pieces on the cube.
the act of changing the arrangement of a given number of elements
act of changing the lineal order of objects in a group
an arrangement of a group of items in a specific order
an arrangement of a group of objects in a particular order
an arrangement of all or part of a set of objects, with regard to the order of the arrangement
an arrangement of a set of objects, or specifically an arrangement of a subset of a certain size of some set of objects
an arrangement of objects from a set of objects
an arrangement of objects without repetition and where order is important
an ordering or arrangement of
a particular sequence of a given set of objects
a re-ordering of a list of items
a selections of objects in which order is taken into account
a way to order a set of things
A group of elements from a set in which the order of the elements is important.
An arrangement of a given number of objects from a given set.
Alternative orderings of letters in a code: RIE, IRE, IER, etc.
Any ordered arrangement of a set of objects. In the coding permutation (1248), 1 is coded as 2, 2 becomes 4, 4 is coded as 8, and 8 becomes 1.
An arrangement of a number of objects in a definite order.
An ordered selection of items from a given group.
A a particular ordering of a set of objects. For example, given the set {1, 2, 3}, there are six permutations: {1, 2, 3}, {1, 3, 2}, {2, 1, 3}, {2, 3, 1}, {3, 1, 2}, and {3, 2, 1}.
A permutation of the set of numbers {1, 2,..., n} is a reordering of these numbers. Possible arrangements of a set of objects in which the order of the arrangement makes a difference. Example: Determine all the different ways five books can be arranged in order on a shelf.
The arrangement of a set of objects in a particular order.
Permutation is the rearrangement of objects or symbols into distinguishable sequences. Each unique ordering is called a permutation.For cases where ordering of elements is not relevant, compare combination and set. For example, with the numerals one to six, each possible ordering consists of a complete list of the numerals, without repetitions.
