permutations and combinations

lyric vapor
#

its basically this question :
how we can move in a grid by only going right and left

#

have you seen such questions before ?

#

do you know permutations with repetition ?

#

@amber prawn

amber prawn
#

like the formula?

lyric vapor
#

the concept itself

#

and yeh including the formula

amber prawn
#

yeah yeah

#

the problem was with lattice

lyric vapor
#

ok then

amber prawn
#

like i didnt know what it was

#

i mean how it fit in with permutations

lyric vapor
#

i dont know the meaning since im not a native speaker but it seems its basically a grid

#

the question is just complicating stuff

#

it basically means this :

#

its a grid that you are only allowed to move right and up

amber prawn
#

so there are as many moves from origin to a, b as there are permutations of

#

the same

lyric vapor
#

wdym

amber prawn
#

i mean to move from origin to a, b there will x moves of a and y moves of b where each represents a 1 unit move on teh respective axis

lyric vapor
#

yeh thats the answer 👍

amber prawn
#

so we'll represent that as a permutation

#

ok got it thanks
