Algorithm Formula?

[Jon855]

Suppose I want to figure out the total possible combination numbers of a 32 characters key, including 26 lower cases and 26 upper cases and ten numbers from 0-9. That will leave me at 62 possiblity per characters. But what's the formula for the given length of 10 or 32 characters? Anybody could point this out?

All I can figure out is 62 to the 32th power = all of the possible combos for the 32 characters key. Is this correct?

Googled it and this 62 to 32th power would result in 62^32 = 2.27265788 × 10^57 total combos which would result in 22,726,578,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 TOTAL POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS


Thanks.

Hint: powers (exponential)

Permutations are your friend.

I don't need a hint, but i don't see it as this 62 to the power of 62, that looks wrong doesn't it?

I'm asking for the whole formula not a hint please. Thanks.

62^32

62 * 62 * 62 * 62 * ... 32 times... since each character in a 32 sequence can have a possible 62 combinations.
