Definition df-bc 10462
Description: Define the binomial coefficient operation. For example, (5C3) = 10 (ex-bc 12868).

In the literature, this function is often written as a column vector of the two arguments, or with the arguments as subscripts before and after the letter "C". (𝑁C𝐾) is read "𝑁 choose 𝐾." Definition of binomial coefficient in [Gleason] p. 295. As suggested by Gleason, we define it to be 0 when 0 ≤ 𝑘𝑛 does not hold. (Contributed by NM, 10-Jul-2005.)
