::: The WP article references [https://compprog.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/generating-combinations-1/ this], which seems fairly readable. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 17:12, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
::::Hi Michael. Unfortunately that article seems to be about plain old combinations. No help with repetitions. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 17:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
::::: Hm. Looking at it, it reminded me of nCr from a business stats class I paid too little attention to, too long ago. Googling for that turns up [[wp:Binomial Coefficient]]. There's a short debate on their relationship in [[wp:Talk:Combination#REDIRECT_to_Binomial_coefficient]], but there's a rather pointed note to [[wp:Multiset#Polynomial_notation]] to demonstrate their relationship. Of course, if I haven't been any help in shedding light on this, then I've probably completely enveloped it in a dense fog... --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 17:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
