Permutations and combination of names reflects the mathematicians for certain groups of objects or symbols. Permutations and arrangements for the collection of objects, for example, is (a b c) and (a c b) and (b a c), the three permutations of the set of symbols a, b, c.
The combinations are those groups that include the same things regardless of the arrangement, the groups were (a b c) and (a c b) and (b a c) all represent the same combinations.
