PRB Random number generator Number of permutations Number of combinations Factorial rand rand (random number) generates and returns a random number greater than 0 and less than 1. A random number is generated from a seed value. To control a random number sequence, first store an integer seed value in rand. If you store 0 to rand, the TI.82 uses the factory-set seed value. When you reset the TI.82, rand is set to the factory seed. nPr nPr (number of permutations) returns the number of permutations of items taken number at a time. items and number must be nonnegative integers. items nPr number nCr nCr (number of combinations) returns the number of combinations of items taken number at a time. items and number must be nonnegative integers. items nCr number ! (Factorial) ! (factorial) returns the factorial of a positive integer between 0 and 69. value! 2-12 Math, Angle, and Test Operations
