Whats The Difference Between A Permutation and a Combination?

Your Answer:

Note that permutation is another word for arrangement. A combination is an arrangement where order does not matter, but for a permutation it does. For example
for combinations
{a,b,c}={a,c,b}={c,b,a}=...
because they all contain an a, b and a c
but if their order is important then all of those lists are distinct arrangements
in fact there are six such arrangements of a,b,c:

abc
acd
bac
bca
cab
cba
