[Scilab-users] Scilab Scholar module for schools: permutation

[tanthiamhuat]

permutation(n,p) returns the number of permutations of p elements taken from
n with n and p positive integers or zero and p<=n.

-->permutation(4,3)
 ans  =
 
    24.  
 
-->permutation(5,3)
 ans  =
 
    60.  
 
-->permutation(6,3)
 ans  =
 
    120.  

Can someone help me clarify what does this permutation do?
