1. relating to or involving the selection and arrangement of items from a set, especially in mathematics and logic
Usage: commonly used in mathematics, computer science, and digital logic
2. of or relating to a circuit or system whose output depends only on its current input, not on previous inputs
Usage: technical term in electronics and digital design

Examples

• The combinational logic circuit processes the input signals immediately without memory.
• Students studied combinational problems involving permutations and combinations.
• A combinational approach to the puzzle allowed them to explore all possible arrangements.
• The combinational design of the system made it simpler but less flexible than sequential alternatives.
• Combinational analysis helped determine the number of ways to select items from the group.
