# Permutations with Repetition

## Counting Permutations with Repetitions

### How to generate permutations with repetition?

Item permutations with repetition consist in the list of all possible arrangements of elements (which can be repeated) in any order.

Example: A,B,C items be shuffled in 9 couples of 2 items: A,A A,B A,C B,A B,B B,C, C,A, C,B, C,C. The order of the items do not matter.

Sets of n items are called tuples.

### How to count permutations with repetition?

Counting permutations with repetition of $k$ items in a list of $N$ items is $N^k$

Example: There are $3 ^ 2 = 9$ groups of permutations with repetition of $2$ elements among $3$.

### How to remove the limit when computing permutations?

Permutations makes exponential values witch needs huge computing servers, so the generation must be paid.

### What is the Cartesian product of N identical sets?

In mathematics, the Cartesian product of N identical sets is equivalent to the generation of permutations with repetitions of N elements.

Example: {1, 2, 3} x {1, 2, 3} returns the set of 9 permutations: (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)
