Understanding permissions output

Imagine file permissions as three ones or zeros

000 no access 100 read 010 write 001 execute 101 read and execute 110 read and write 011 write and execute 111 read write and execute

what nat does is it combines these permissions for

user-group-other

so if the user has read write and execute and the group has read and write and other has no perms the output will look like

rwxrw----

If all groups have read write and execute the output would look like

rwxrwxrwx
