*Works with symbols too, just a bit slower
I can work up to about 10 character string values before it gets to be too big. The number of combinations just to give you an idea is a Factorial sum, and based on the few people who've done the Factorial Calculator Programming Challenge #5, you can see how that accumulates pretty fast when you get to a certain number.
Soon it just jumps into the millions and billions of different combinations and every character that you add to the string the total combination count increases exponentially.
I think the most i've calculated is a 10 char string, in which the combinations for the string are 10!... = 3 628 800
Works really well, just working on the UI threading.
