Definitions
Definition permutation (order is important):
P(n,r)=n!(nr)!
Definition combination (order is not important):
C(n,r)=(nr)=n!r!(nr)!
with n!=n(n1)...21.
We treat the mentioned string as one single letter, thus we have then the possible letters CFG A,B,D,E. We then have 4 letters of which we want to select 4 letters.
n=4
r=4
Evaluate the definition of a permutation:
P(4,4)=4!(44)!=4!0!=424
