What is permutation?
The number of possible arrangements for a given set is calculated mathematically, and this process is known as permutation. Simply said, a permutation is a term that refers to the variety of possible arrangements or orders. The arrangement's order is important when using permutations. An arrangement of items in a specific order is referred to as a permutation. Here, the components of sets are arranged in a linear or sequential order.
