PermutationNoun Pronunciation The permutation means the action of rearrangement of the elements for another in a set. More formally: The permutation π in Sn is defined as a bijection from a set Sn onto itself. All permutations of a set with n elements create a symmetric group Sn, where the group operation is function composition. It holds four group axioms for two permutations π and σ in Sn: closure, identity, invertibility, and associativity. The composition of two permutations is not commutative.
The permutation stands for a number of combinations when the order does not matter following this formula:
