Permutations Task

About the Permutations Task

The Permutations task computes the possible permutations of a given number of objects.

To create this example:

In the Tasks section, expand the Combinatorics and Probability folder and double-click Permutations. The user interface for the Permutations task opens.

On the Options tab, specify these options.

Assign columns to these roles:

Option Name	Value to Specify
Number of objects	`6`
Data set name	`Perms`

The Permutations task creates an output data set. In SAS Studio, this data set opens on the WORK.Perms tab.

All of these options are required to run the Permutations task.

Option Name	Description
Observations
Number of objects	specifies the number of objects for which you want to compute permutations. This value can range from 1 to 10.
Output Data Set
Data set name	specifies the name of the output data set.
