What's the difference between permutation and transposition?

Permutation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of permuting; exchange of the thing for another; mutual transference; interchange.
  • (n.) The arrangement of any determinate number of things, as units, objects, letters, etc., in all possible orders, one after the other; -- called also alternation. Cf. Combination, n., 4.
  • (n.) Any one of such possible arrangements.
  • (n.) Barter; exchange.

Transposition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of transposing, or the state of being transposed.
  • (n.) The bringing of any term of an equation from one side over to the other without destroying the equation.
  • (n.) A change of the natural order of words in a sentence; as, the Latin and Greek languages admit transposition, without inconvenience, to a much greater extent than the English.
  • (n.) A change of a composition into another key.

Example Sentences:
