Please read the explanation, because the answer is either 10,000 or 5,040.

Explanation:

Since there are 10 choices for each digit, the number of 4- digit combinations is given by
10*10*10*10 = 10,000,

UNLESS using a digit means it cannot be used again. In that case, the number of 4-digit combinations is given by
10*9*8*7 = 5,040.
