What's the difference between combinations and permutations?

what's the same about combinations and permutations?

The difference between combinations and permutations is that in permutations, the order matters, while it doesn't with combinations. For example, if you are given 5 numbers (1,2,3,4,5) and you have to determine how many 3 digit numbers you can make, that is a permutation question because 123, 231, 321, etc. are all different numbers. If, for example, we have to find how many ways three people can be chosen out of a group of 5, that is a combination question and you must use the combination formula as the order of the three people does not matter. Other than the order, combinations and permutations are the same
