The Symmetric Group: Permutations of a Finite Set

Description

Manipulates invertible functions from a finite set to itself. Can transform from word form to cycle form and back. To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2020) "Introducing the permutations R package", SoftwareX, volume 11 <doi:10.1016/j.softx.2020.100453>.
