Detailed Description

template<>
class regina::NPerm< 2 >

Represents a permutation of {0,1}.

This is a specialisation of the generic NPerm template: it is highly optimised, but also somewhat trivial (since there are only two possible permutations). It is provided simply to optimise the general NPerm<n> template for this trivial case.

As with all NPerm template classes, these objects are small enough to pass about by value instead of by reference. Moreover, NPerm2 in particular is extremely fast to work with.

Each permutation has an internal code, which is a single native integer that is sufficient to reconstruct the permutation. Thus the internal code may be a useful means for passing permutation objects to and from the engine. For NPerm2, the internal code is 0 for the identity permutation, or 1 for the (unique) non-identity permutation.

Warning
Every permutation class NPerm<n> provides a transposition (i.e., pair swap) constructor NPerm<n>(a,b). In addition, the specialised classes NPerm3, NPerm4 and NPerm5 provide "list of images" constructors NPerm3(a,b,c), NPerm4(a,b,c,d) and NPerm5(a,b,c,d,e). For NPerm2, these two constructors would be indistinguishable (since both would take two integer arguments). Here NPerm2 takes an approach that is consistent with the generic NPerm<n> class: NPerm2(a,b) is interpreted as the transposition of a and b. In particular, NPerm(0,1) is not the identity permutation.
Python:
Since Python does not support templates, this class is made available under the name NPerm2.

Member Data Documentation

§ invS2

const unsigned regina::NPerm< 2 >::invS2[2]
static

Contains the inverses of the permutations in the array S2.

Specifically, the inverse of permutation S2[i] is the permutation S2[ invS2[i] ].

This array is provided for consistency with larger permutation classes; of course, for permutations of two elements, the inverse of p is always p itself.

§ invSn

const unsigned* regina::NPerm< 2 >::invSn
static

A dimension-agnostic alias for NPerm<2>::invS2.

In general, for each K the class NPermK will define an alias invSn that references the list of all permutations NPermK::invSK.

§ nPerms

const Index regina::NPerm< 2 >::nPerms = 2
static

The total number of permutations on two elements.

This is the size of the array Sn.

§ nPerms_1

const Index regina::NPerm< 2 >::nPerms_1 = 1
static

The total number of permutations on one element.

This is the size of the array Sn_1.

§ orderedS2

const NPerm<2>* regina::NPerm< 2 >::orderedS2
static

Contains all possible permutations of two elements in lexicographical order.

This is identical to the array NPerm<2>::S2, and in fact orderedS2 and S2 are pointers to the same array in memory. Note however that for n ≥ 3, the arrays NPerm<n>::Sn and NPerm<n>::orderedSn are different: Sn alternates between even and odd permutations, and orderedSn stores permutations in lexicograpical order.

§ orderedSn

const NPerm<2>* regina::NPerm< 2 >::orderedSn
static

A dimension-agnostic alias for NPerm<2>::orderedS2.

In general, for each K the class NPermK will define an alias orderedSn that references the list of all permutations NPermK::orderedSK.

§ S1

const NPerm<2>* regina::NPerm< 2 >::S1
static

Contains all possible permutations of one element.

In each permutation, 1 maps to 1.

Of course, this array is trivial: it contains just the identity permutation. This array is provided for consistency with larger permutation classes NPerm<n>.

Note that, as an implementation detail, the arrays S1 and S2 point to the same location in memory (however, they are treated as arrays of different lengths).

§ S2

const NPerm<2> regina::NPerm< 2 >::S2[2]
static

Contains all possible permutations of two elements.

The identity permutation has index 0, and the non-identity permutation has index 1. As a result, S2[i] is an even permutation if and only if i is even.

For all permutation classes (NPerm<2>, NPerm<3> and so on), the S2 array stores the same permutations in the same order (but of course using different data types).

§ Sn

const NPerm<2>* regina::NPerm< 2 >::Sn
static

A dimension-agnostic alias for NPerm<2>::S2.

In general, for each K the class NPermK will define an alias Sn that references the list of all permutations NPermK::SK.

§ Sn_1

const NPerm<2>* regina::NPerm< 2 >::Sn_1
static

A dimension-agnostic alias for NPerm<2>::S1.

In general, for each K the class NPermK will define an alias Sn_1 that references the list of all permutations NPermK::S(K-1).
