nchoosek

Binomial coefficient or all combinations

Syntax

C = nchoosek(n,k)

C = nchoosek(v,k)

Description

C =

nchoosek(n,k) where n and k are nonnegative

integers, returns n!/((n–k)! k!). This

is the number of combinations of n things taken k at

a time.

C =

nchoosek(v,k), where v is a row vector of length

n, creates a matrix whose rows consist of all possible

combinations of the n elements of v taken k

at a time. Matrix C contains

n!/((n–k)! k!) rows and k

columns.

Inputs n, k, and v support classes of

float double and float single.

Examples

The command nchoosek(2:2:10,4) returns the even numbers

from two to ten, taken four at a time:

2 4 6 8；

2 4 6 10；

2 4 8 10；

2 6 8 10；

4 6 8 10；

Limitations

When C = nchoosek(n,k) has a large coefficient, a

warning will be produced indicating possible inexact results. In

such cases, the result is only accurate to 15 digits for

double-precision inputs, or 8 digits for single-precision

inputs.

C = nchoosek(v,k) is only practical for situations

where n is less than about 15.
