recurse: Recursively apply a permutation

In magic: Create and Investigate Magic Squares

Recursively apply a permutation

Description

Recursively apply a permutation to a vector an arbitrary number of times. Negative times mean apply the inverse permutation.

Usage

recurse(perm, i, start = seq_along(perm))

Arguments

perm	Permutation (integers 1 to length(start) in some order)
start	Start vector to be permuted
i	Number of times to apply the permutation. i=0 gives start by definition and negative values use the inverse permutation

Examples

n <- 15
noquote(recurse(start=letters[1:n],perm=shift(1:n),i=0))
noquote(recurse(start=letters[1:n],perm=shift(1:n),i=1))
noquote(recurse(start=letters[1:n],perm=shift(1:n),i=2))

noquote(recurse(start=letters[1:n],perm=sample(n),i=1))
noquote(recurse(start=letters[1:n],perm=sample(n),i=2))
