Warning message

The first parameter, «k», of Function Combinations(k, n) cannot be larger than the second parameter, «n».

Cause

You have probably inverted the order of the parameters to Combinations. How many sets of size 3 are there among a collection of 5 elements? That would be Combinations(3, 5). Mathematical notation for combination often appear as

[math]\displaystyle{ \left( \begin{array}{c} n \\ k \end{array} \right) }[/math] or [math]\displaystyle{ _nC_r }[/math]

which becomes Combinations(k, n) in Analytica.

Remedies

Change the parameters to the Combinations function so that the «k» parameter is less than or equal to «n».
