Exercise 36

General: Combination Lock To open a combination lock, you turn the dial to the right and stop at a number; then you turn it to the left and stop at a second number. Finally, you turn the dial back to the right and slop at a third number. If you used the correct sequence of numbers, the lock opens. If the dial of the lock contains 10 numbers, 0 through 9, determine the number of different combinations possible for the lock. Note: The same number can reused.
