10Permutation4 = 5040
I still believe this is a permutation, and not a combination because in a combination order doesn't matter, but in a permutation order does matter
ex:
2345 is the same as 5432 in a combination, that is not true here so it is not a combination

It depends on the question, whether it said 4 different numbers out of 0-9 or not.
If a number can be used repeatedly, I agree with the first answer, should be 10 P 4, which is 5040. As he said, permutation considers the order while combination dont; permutation considers 1234 and 1243 different, while combination considers it the same.
But if u can use a number repeatedly as digits (eg 1001) then the answer is 10^4 = 10,000.

There are 10*9*8*7 / 4*3*2 = 210 combinations, but I don't intend listing them all. Work out a clever formula to do it in Excel.
