When the order **does** matter it is a **Permutation**. **"My fruit salad is a combination of apples, grapes and bananas"** We don't care what order the fruits are in, they could also be "bananas, grapes and apples" or "grapes, apples and bananas", its the same fruit salad. ## Combinations without repetitions ## Combinations with repetitions ## References [Math Is Fun](https://www.mathsisfun.com/combinatorics/combinations-permutations.html)
