nPr (number of permutations) returns the number of
permutations of items taken number at a time. items and number
must be nonnegative integers. Both items and number can be
lists.

nCr (number of combinations) returns the number of
combinations of items taken number at a time. items and number
must be nonnegative integers. Both items and number can be
lists.

! (factorial) returns the factorial of either an integer or a multiple
of .5. For a list, it returns factorials for each integer or multiple
of .5. value must be ‚L.5 and 69.
value
!
Note: The factorial is computed recursively using the relationship
(n+1)! = nän!, until n is reduced to either 0 or L1/2. At that point, the
definition 0!=1 or the definition (L1à2)!=‡p is used to complete the
calculation. Hence:
n!=nä(nN1)ä(nN2)ä ... ä2ä1, if n is an integer ‚0
n!= nä(nN1)ä(nN2)ä ... ä1à2ä‡p, if n+1à2 is an integer ‚0
n! is an error, if neither n nor n+1à2 is an integer ‚0.
(The variable n equals value in the syntax description above.)
