Concatenation of permutations

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)
#> [1] (12345)    (1234)(89) (12)      

# concatenate words:
c(rperm(5,3),rperm(6,9))   # size adjusted to maximum size of args
#>  [1] ()              (13)            (23)            (13)           
#>  [5] (23)            (1732596)       (12349)(5678)   (18593)(24)(67)
#>  [9] (156298)(347)   (184927)(365)   (12467385)     
#> [coerced from word form]


# repeat words:
rep(x, times=3)
#> [1] (12345) (12345) (12345)
