    Combinations(N,K) error (?)

    Why 'Combinations(49,6)' from 'Math' returns

    1.38888888888888889E-3

    I think valid answer should be

    13983816

    Because there is a bug
    I was using a wrong factorial function.

    Thanks a lot for letting us know.
    Please find here attached thinBasic_Math.dll
    Unzip and place into \thinBasic\Lib\ substituting your current one.

    Results you should get with attached thinBasic_Math.dll version
    uses "math"
    uses "console"
    
    ext p = Permutations(49, 6)
    ext c = Combinations(49, 6)
    printl "Permutations(49, 6):", p
    printl "Combinations(49, 6):", c
    
    for x as long = 1 to 50
      printl "Factorial of ", x, "is", Factorial(x)
    Next

    Thank You for a quick answer.

    Now it's almost ok

    But 'Combinations(Any_Number,0)' should return 1 not 0

    Thanks again.
    I've updated thinBasic_Math.zip in previous post.
