Bijections of an nn-set onto itself are permutations, so there are n!n! of them.

A bijective function f:A→Af:A\to A with ∣A∣=n|A| = n is just a permutation of the nn elements. The first element has nn choices of image, the next n−1n-1, and so on, giving

n×(n−1)×⋯×1=n!.n\times(n-1)\times\cdots\times1 = n!. …
