Scientists and deficit spenders like to use Python because it can handle very large numbers. I decided to give it a test with factorials. Factorials reach astronomical levels rather quickly. In case you can't quite remember, the factorial of 12 is !12 = 1*2*3*4*5*6*7*8*9*10*11*12 = 479001600, that is 479 million …

This snippet allows you to find the number of ordered permutations of items taken from a population of known size. It uses the well know algorithm with factorials. For very large populations you may want to use an approximation of factorials.

If you want to know the number of combinations of x things taken n at a time, you can use the Python module gmpy. The module gmpy is a C-coded Python extension module that supports fast multiple-precision arithmetic, very handy if x things reach a large number.
