A permutation in the context of sorting can include the same number appearing multiple times. A) True B) False

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether it is true or false that a permutation in the context of sorting can include the same number appearing multiple times.

More Information

In permutations, especially regarding computer algorithms and sorting, elements can repeat. Permutations refer to arrangements, and repeated elements result in different permutations under specific contexts.

Tips

One common mistake is assuming permutations must exclusively consist of unique elements. This is not true outside the context of strict mathematical permutations.
