Permutation

An ordered arrangement of elements — the number of permutations of n items taken r at a time is n!/(n-r)!.

Technical Detail

Permutation is applied in computing through numerical algorithms that balance precision, performance, and memory. JavaScript uses 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point for all numbers, providing ~15-17 significant decimal digits. For exact arithmetic (financial, cryptographic), BigInt or fixed-point libraries are required. Browser-based calculators implement permutation using the same floating-point engine, making awareness of precision limitations important for correct results.

Example

```
Permutation calculation:

  Input:  value = 42
  Apply permutation: result = f(42)
  Output: result
```
