Factorials are permutations. Combinations are "far smaller", relatively
speaking. The number of possible combinations of N elements is 2^N, or
in the case of 100 elements, about a million possibilities.
The bit shifting is simply a matter of using my technique (although my
technique the bits are in "reverse" order, that is lowest to highest).
Programmatically:
For x = 1 to ArraySize
If (Array2(x) = 0)
Array2(x) = 1
Leave
Endif
Array2(x) = 0
Endfor
This is your basic binary adder. Nothing to it. Basically, if a bit is
zero, set it to one and get out. Otherwise, it's one. In binary, 1+1=0
and carry the one, so set the bit to zero and go on to the next bit.
