The counting principle is a fundamental concept in combinatorics that provides a systematic way to count the number of ways events can occur. It states that if one event can occur in 'm' ways and a second independent event can occur in 'n' ways, then the total number of ways both events can occur is the product of the two, given by 'm × n'. This principle is essential for calculating combinations and permutations in various scenarios.
