In proving results in combinatorics several useful combinatorial rules or combinatorial principles are used. They include:

  1. rule of sum
  2. rule of product
  3. rule of equality (bijective proof)
  4. bookkeper's rule
  5. pigeonhole principle
  6. inclusion-exclusion principle
  7. method of distinguished element
