# Permutation Calculation
calculate_permutations <- function(n, r) {
#' @description Calculates the number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time.
#' @param n Total number of objects
#' @param r Number of objects in each arrangement
#' @usage calculate_permutations(n, r)
#' @details Permutations represent the number of ways to arrange r objects from n.
#' It is calculated as n! / (n - r)! and is widely used in combinatorics.

# Example
print(calculate_permutations(5, 3)) # expected 60
print(calculate_permutations(10, 2)) # expected 90
