Suppose you give a dinner party for six guests, but your table seats only four. In how

many ways can four of the six guests arrange themselves at the table? Any of the six

guests can sit in the first chair. Any of the remaining five can sit in the second chair.

Any of the remaining four can sit in the third chair, and any of the remaining three

can sit in the fourth chair. (The last two will have to stand.) So the number of possible

arrangements of six guests in four chairs is 6*5*4*3, which is 360. Write a program

that calculates the number of possible arrangements for any number of guests and

any number of chairs. (Assume there will never be fewer guests than chairs.) Don’t

let this get too complicated. A simple for loop should do it.
