Yes ― the position of a bit matters.

# How Many Patterns with Three Bits?

How many patterns can be formed with three bits? Let's list them:

>           0 0 0
>           0 0 1
>           0 1 0
>           0 1 1
>           1 0 0
>           1 0 1
>           1 1 0
>           1 1 1

>     Looks like 8 patterns.

### QUESTION 3:

Is the number of patterns that can be formed with N bits greater than the number of bits?
