Hi,
A garden contains bushes with red,yellow,pink and white roses. 4 different colors
How many different bouquets of four roses can be selected ? 4%2A4%2A4%2A4+=+256
Same Idea would apply for how many passwords/4 numbers, could be formed
using 4 different numbers (If numbers could be repeated) 4%2A4%2A4%2A4
