Solution

Assuming that the code of an ATM has all distinct digits.
Number of ways for selecting the first digit = 4
Number of ways for selecting the second digit = 3
Number of ways for selecting the third digit = 2
Number of ways for selecting the fourth digit = 1
Total number of possible codes for the ATM = 4 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 1 = 24
