How many ways to combine 4 numbers?
Hi,
If you have a set, {a,b,c,d) how to you calculate the number of different combinations, and what are they?
I thought it was 4^2 = 16 but now I am not so sure...
Thanks.

Update:
I'm talking order, so and I'm using [1,2,3,4]
[1234], [1243], [1324], [1342], [1423], [1432], [2134], [2143], [2314], [2341], [2413], [2431], [3124], [3142], [3241], [3214], [4123], [4132], [4213], [4231], [4312], [4321]
two missing?

Update 2:
There are 4! = 24 different orders they can be put in (i.e. abcd, bcad, dcba, etc.).
