Answer:
Explanation:
% Clears variables and screen
clear; clc
% Asks user for input
n = input('Total number of objects: ');
r = input('Size of subgroup: ');
% Computes and displays permutation according to basic formulas
p = 1;
for i = n - r + 1 : n
p = p*i;
end
str1 = [num2str(p) ' permutations'];
disp(str1)
% Computes and displays combinations according to basic formulas
str2 = [num2str(p/factorial(r)) ' combinations'];
disp(str2)
