Combination is not the term, I guess you mean permutations and it is 50! = 3.04140932*10^64 which you can't store it anywhere not just because of capacity problems but also because of the time required for writing them, it would take billions times the galaxy's age for a multiple penta byte per second write operation, I suppose.

you are wrong... permutations are only for cases where the sequence is not a factor like when you draw 5 cards from a 52 cards deck... it doesnt matter if you draw spade ace first or last... so As-2s-3s-4s-5s is the exact same as 5s-3s-2s-4s-As....

while in this case the sequence is important because AAAA5 and 5AAAA or AA5AA is NOT the same... so here you have to actually do like #character pow 50... like when you use 26 alphabet then its 26^50... if you use captions then its 52^50... if you want to use alphanumeric (26 alphabet + 26 ALPHABET + 10 Numbers) then its 62^50

this is such a huge number thats its not even possible to write all this different combinations down...

and btw

2^256 = 1,15 * 10^77
62^50 = 4,16 * 10^89

so this number is 3 trillion times bigger as the number of sequences described in that picture... so pretty much impossible to do this. Smiley
