Assuming there are only 4 seats for the 4 people then there are a total of $$4!=4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24$$ possible ways to sit.  

They way to think about this is: there are 4 choices for who can sit in the first seat, then 3 choices for the second seat and so on. When you get to the last seat there is only one person left and she has to sit there.
