Cycle | C. 1 1 _ | Permute

If`p` is a permutation of the atoms of`i.n`,`` then`p` is said to be a permutation vector of order`n`,`` and if`n=#b`,`` then`p{b` is a permutation of the items of`b` .

`C.p` yields a list of boxed lists of the atoms of`i.#p`,`` called the standard cycle representation of the permutation`p` .`` Thus, if`p=:4 5 2 1 0 3`,`` then`C.p` is`(,2);4 0;5 3 1` because the permutation`p` moves to position`2` the item`2`,`` to`4` the item`0`,`` to`0` the item`4`,`` to`5` the item`3`,`` to`3` the item`1`,`` and to`1` the item`5`.`` The monad`C.` is self-inverse; applied to a standard cycle it gives the corresponding direct representation. A given permutation could be represented by cycles in a variety of ways; the standard form is made unique by the following restrictions: the cycles are disjoint and exhaustive (i.e., the atoms of the boxed elements together form a permutation vector); each boxed cycle is rotated to begin with its largest element; and the boxed cycles are put in ascending order on their leading elements. `C.` is extended to non-negative non-standard cases by treating any argument`q` as a representation of a permutation of order`1+>./; q` . The monad`C.!.2` computes the parity of a permutation`p` ;`` it is`1` or`_1` as the number is even or odd of pairwise interchanges necessary to get`p` from the identity permutation`i.#p` (and`0` if`p` is not a permutation). For example:
       ] x=: 2 , (i.4) ,: 1 0 2 3
    2 2 2 2
    0 1 2 3
    1 0 2 3
       C.!.2 x
    0 1 _1
|  | If`p` and`c` are standard and cycle representations of order`#b`,`` then`p C. b` and`c C. b` produce the permutation of`b` .`` The arguments`p` and`c` can be non-standard in ways to be defined. In particular, negative integers down to`-#b` may be used, and are treated as their residues modulo`#b` . If`q` is not boxed, and the elements of`(#b)|q` are distinct, then`q C. b` is equivalent to`p{b` ,`` where`p` is the standard form of`q` that is given by`p=:((i.n)-.n|q),n|q` ,`` for`n=:#b` . In other words, positions occurring in`q` are moved to the tail end. If`q` is boxed, the elements of`(#b)|>j{q` must be distinct for each`j` ,`` and the boxes are applied in succession. For example:
       (2 1;3 0 1) C. i.5
    1 2 3 0 4

       (<2 1) C. (<3 0 1) C. i.5
    1 2 3 0 4
