Why does the toppings options = 2^5? Rather than 5?
If the toppings was a single select, we would have 5 options:
[Topping 1] OR [Topping 2] OR … [Topping 5]
But since it’s a multi select, each topping becomes its own choice. You have to go through each topping and ask if you want it or not:
- Topping 1 - YES OR NO
- Topping 2 - YES OR NO
- …
- Topping 5 - YES OR NO
So we have 5 choices with 2 options each, so it’s 2^5.
Does that make sense?
