c: Concatenation of permutations

In permutations: The Symmetric Group: Permutations of a Finite Set

Concatenation of permutations

Description

Concatenate words or cycles together

Usage

## S3 method for class 'word'
c(...)
## S3 method for class 'cycle'
c(...)
## S3 method for class 'permutation'
rep(x, ...)

Arguments

...	In the methods for c(), objects to be concatenated. Must all be of the same type: either all word, or all cycle
x	In the method for rep(), a permutation object

Note

The methods for c() do not attempt to detect which type (word or cycle) you want as conversion is expensive.

Function rep.permutation() behaves like base::rep() and takes the same arguments, eg times and each.

Examples

x <- as.cycle(1:5)
y <- cycle(list(list(1:4,8:9),list(1:2)))


# concatenate cycles:
c(x,y)

# concatenate words:
c(rperm(5,3),rperm(6,9))   # size adjusted to maximum size of args


# repeat words:
rep(x, times=3)
