How many ways can three letters be chosen from the letters A,B,C,D, and E
---------------
If repeats are allowed, eg AAA, it's 5*5*5 = 125
--------------
If letters can't be reused, it's 5*4*3 = 60
The 1st letter is 1 of 5, then 1/4, then 1/3.
This is 5!/(5-3)! = 120/2 = 60
---------------
If order doesn't matter, ie, if ABC is the same as ACB, then it's
5*4*3/(3*2*1) = 10
