Strings made from three characters 2019-12-10
From Kelley:
Hi,

I vaguely remember some formula for determining all the possible combinations of a set of numbers (or whatever).

If I have 3 numbers (0 - 2), then I have 0, 1, 2, 00, 01, 02, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 000, 001, 002, 010, 011, 012, 020, 021, 022, 100, 101, 102 and so on.

What is the formula for determining all potential results?

Thank you!!

Kelley

Strings of characters 2015-12-28
From Ali:
If I have an app and offer a two, three and four digits name and it can be only number, letters or both?
I want to know how many options will I have for each?
For example
the two digits: aa, 11, a1 or 1a
the three digits: 111, a2a, 222
the four digits: 1111, 2ge3 or 1234
So if I used all the letters and all the numbers but nothing starts with a zero How can I calculate them separately? Or what's the result for each?
Thank you
Ali
