+.. function:: comb(n, k)
+
+   Return the number of ways to choose *k* items from *n* items without repetition
+   and without order.
+
+   Also called the binomial coefficient. It is mathematically equal to the expression
+   ``n! / (k! (n - k)!)``. It is equivalent to the coefficient of k-th term in
+   polynomial expansion of the expression ``(1 + x) ** n``.
+
+   Raises :exc:`TypeError` if the arguments not integers.
+   Raises :exc:`ValueError` if the arguments are negative or if k > n.

 Note that :func:`frexp` and :func:`modf` have a different call/return pattern
 than their C equivalents: they take a single argument and return a pair of
 values, rather than returning their second return value through an 'output
