However, the example in the book is 50 and FF and the solution is, 5 and F is 11 numbers away. There are 16 hexadecimal numbers, so there are 11 x 16 hexadecimal numbers.
50 = 80
FF = 255
That comes out to be 174 numbers. That's not 11 x 16.
Discrete math is a branch of mathematics that deals with discrete objects and structures, rather than continuous ones. It includes topics such as counting, graph theory, and logic.
Counting theory is a subset of discrete math that focuses on counting the number of ways to arrange or choose elements from a set. It involves principles such as permutations, combinations, and the multiplication principle.
Counting theory has many practical applications, such as in computer science, data analysis, and cryptography. It is used to analyze and optimize algorithms, make predictions based on data, and secure communication systems.
Permutations are arrangements of a set of objects in a specific order, while combinations are selections of objects from a set without regard to order. In other words, permutations involve rearranging the elements, while combinations do not.
The multiplication principle states that if there are m ways to do one task and n ways to do another task, then there are m x n ways to do both tasks together. This principle is used in counting the number of possible outcomes in a series of events or choices.
