swap R Documentation
Length-2 cycles; swap a pair of elements
Description
Length-2 cycles; swap a pair of elements
Usage
swap(a, b)
Arguments
a, b
Integers
Details
Swaps two elements. Vectorized; uses standard recycling.
Value
Returns a permutation in cycle form
Note
If the first argument equals the second, the identity permutation is
returned.
Cycles of the form (1n), that is, swap(1, n), are used
extensively in inst/outer_automorphisms_of_S6.Rmd.
