How many 3 letter combinations?

Oh, dude, there are like 26 letters in the alphabet, right? So, for each position in a 3-letter combination, you have 26 choices. That means you'd have 26 choices for the first letter, 26 for the second, and 26 for the third. So, the total number of 3-letter combinations would be 26 x 26 x 26, which is... math.
