Understanding Permutations and Arrangements

The video tutorial by Aishwarya from Freshersworld.com covers the basics of permutation, including definitions, formulas, and examples. It explains permutation with numbers, including scenarios with zero and repeated numbers, and permutation with words, focusing on repeated and non-repeated letters. The tutorial also discusses permutation scenarios where elements are always or never together, as well as odd and even positions. Finally, it covers the concept of no two elements being together, providing a comprehensive understanding of permutation concepts.

What is the theoretical definition of permutation?
