Ed, I fully understand combinations and permutations... I'm just wondering how you think they would be useful? And how do they work? i.e. if I say P(1234), what happens?

That's not how you'd call the function - actually, it's an infix operator, so you'd call something like 4P3, and that would find the number of permutations of 4 objects in Groups of 3. As for how it would be useful, I really don't know in terms of SE4, but I figured I'd include it because I'd be releasing this math parser for general use anyway and someone somewhere might need it

Ohhhhh, that makes much more sense. so 4C3 would be like "4 choose 3"
