This function returns the number of possible permutations

permutations(n,x)

Returns: int

A permutation is a number of possible arranging objects in a row. Number n represents the number of objects, and number x is a length of the row.

int value = pemutations(3,3);

So, when we have numbers 1, 2 and 3 (n = 3) we can assemble them in row (x = 3) - six different ways: (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (2,1,3), (2,3,1), (3,1,2), and (3,2,1). So the output ofthis function is 6.
