Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

% Clears variables and screen

clear; clc

% Asks user for input

n = input('Total number of objects: ');

r = input('Size of subgroup: ');

% Computes and displays permutation according to basic formulas

p = 1;

for i = n - r + 1 : n

p = p*i;

end

str1 = [num2str(p) ' permutations'];

disp(str1)

% Computes and displays combinations according to basic formulas

str2 = [num2str(p/factorial(r)) ' combinations'];

disp(str2)

=================================================================================
