The function definition is:<br />
c(n,k,r,d)
 
c = combinations<br />
n = number of objects<br />
k = sample size<br />
r = ?<br />
d = ?
 
What are r and d? [[User:Chuck Coker|Chuck Coker]] ([[User talk:Chuck Coker|talk]]) 02:00, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 
:You may not be familiar with recursive patterns. The function c is recursive. d is a count of the current depth, r is sort of an accumulator keeping the permutation thus far. So when d=k the combination is complete and r is printed.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 11:16, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
