Correct.

The wording is a bit akward. No, "nPr" is a "permunation".

nCr(a,b) = nPr(a,b) / (a-b)!

Where '!' refers to "factorial".

What's the name of this second function in Calc? I want to test it out. I want 
to 
figure out what they mean by "repetition included". And for reference, what's 
the 
formula for combinations? (nCr).

Cheers,
