Calculating Combinations for a Grid

1.9k Views Asked by At

Bit of an odd question, but bare with me.

Lets say I have a 5x5 grid, in which each element (or tile, if you like) functions like a boolean, where it can be either on or off.

What I am looking for, is the algorithm to calculate the amount of combinations.

To help this, during generation, each element is only toggled once, so cannot be switched on, then off again, and a random number of elements are toggled each time.

What I am looking for is a way to calculate the maximum amount of combinations there could be for this type of setup.

There are $25$ tiles in the grid, each can be in one of $2$ states, so there are $2^{25}$ total possible setups.
