Compute the number of functions from a set with n elements to a set with m elements.? - Cecil Baires - 11-07-2011
Consider the set with n element. Every element can be mapped to any element of set with m elements. SO, there are m possible mappings
for one elements.
For all elements, there are m^n such mapping possible.
So, there are m^n possible functions.
