The formula to calculate the Number of Functions is:
\[ \text{NFunctions} = (n(B))^{(n(A))} \]
The Number of Functions from Set A to Set B is the number of relations from Set A to Set B in which each element of A will be mapped with only one element in B. Number of Elements in Set B is the total count of elements present in the given finite set B. Number of Elements in Set A is the total count of elements present in the given finite set A.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{NFunctions} = (4)^{(3)} = 64 \]
The Number of Functions is 64.
