Well, I thought the explanation was crystal clear...;) In a future version, I will add examples. Anyway, it works not only for set = {1, 2, 3}, size = 3, which = 1 to factorial(3), but also setting size = 2, for example. In such a case, in each permutation one (or more) of the elements will miss. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tone.skoda at siol.net> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: math combinations > > I figured it out now after I searched mailing list archives. > > for i = 1 to 10 do > ?
