Detailed Description

Represents a permutation of {0,1,2,3,4,5}.

This is a specialisation of the generic Perm template: it is highly optimised, and also offers some additional functionality. Amongst other things, this permutation class is used to specify how simplices of a 5-dimensional triangulation are glued together.

As with all Perm template classes, these objects are small enough to pass by value and swap with std::swap(), with no need for any specialised move operations or swap functions.

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 Perm<6>, the internal permutation codes have changed as of Regina 7.0:

First-generation codes were used internally in Regina 6.0.1 and earlier. These are image packs: integers whose lowest three bits represent the image of 0, whose next lowest three bits represent the image of 1, and so on. The routines permCode1(), setPermCode1(), fromPermCode1() and isPermCode1() continue to work with first-generation codes for backward compatibility. Likewise, the XML data file format continues to use first-generation codes to describe gluings between 5-simplices.
Second-generation codes are used internally in Regina 7.0 and above. These codes are integers between 0 and 719 inclusive, representing the index of the permutation in the array Perm<6>::S6. The routines permCode2(), setPermCode2(), fromPermCode2() and isPermCode2() work with second-generation codes.

It is highly recommended that, if you need to work with permutation codes at all, you use second-generation codes where possible. This is because the first-generation routines incur additional overhead in converting back and forth between the second-generation codes (which are used internally by Perm<6>).

To use this class, simply include the main permutation header maths/perm.h.

Python: Since Python does not support templates, this class is made available under the name Perm6.

Member Function Documentation

◆ atIndex()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::atIndex ( Index i )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Deprecated routine that returns the ith permutation on six elements, where permutations are numbered lexicographically.

Deprecated:: Use orderedSn[i] instead.

Parameters

i	the lexicographical index of the permutation; this must be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

Returns: the ith permutation.

◆ cachedComp() [1/2]

Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::cachedComp ( const Perm< 6 > & q ) const

inline

Returns the composition of this and the given permutation, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedComp() is a single lookup, whereas the * operator requires two lookups and a few steps of mathematical computation.

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup table will consume roughly 1MB of memory for the lifetime of your program.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling (*this) * q.

Precondition: You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedComp(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.

Parameters

q	the permutation to compose this with.

Returns: the composition of both permutations.

◆ cachedComp() [2/2]

Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::cachedComp	(	const Perm< 6 > &	q,
		const Perm< 6 > &	r
	)		const

inline

Returns the composition of this and the given two permutations, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedComp() with two arguments requires just two lookups, whereas using the * operator twice would involve four lookups and a handful of steps of mathematical computation.

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup table will consume roughly 1MB of memory for the lifetime of your program.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling (*this) * q * r.

Precondition: You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedComp(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.

Parameters

q	the first permutation to compose this with.
r	the second permutation to compose this with.

Returns: the composition of both permutations.

◆ cachedPow()

Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::cachedPow ( long exp ) const

inline

Computes the given power of this permutation, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

This routine runs in constant time.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedPow() removes some (but not all) of the mathematical overhead required by pow().

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup table will consume roughly 1MB of memory for the lifetime of your program. Note that this is the same lookup table used by cachedComp(), so if you are already using cachedComp() then there is no extra cost for using this routine also.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling pow(exp).

Precondition: You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedPow(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.

Parameters

exp	the exponent; this may be positive, zero or negative.

Returns: this permutation raised to the power of exp.

◆ clear()

void regina::Perm< 6 >::clear ( unsigned from )

Resets the images of all integers from from onwards to the identity map.

Specifically, for each i in the range from,...,5, this routine will ensure that image[i] == i. The images of 0,1,...,from-1 will not be altered.

Precondition: The images of from,...,5 are exactly from,...,5, but possibly in a different order.

Parameters

from	the first integer whose image should be reset. This must be between 0 and 6 inclusive.

◆ compareWith()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::compareWith ( const Perm< 6 > & other ) const

inlineconstexpr

Lexicographically compares the images of (0,1,2,3,4,5) under this and the given permutation.

Note that this does not yield the same ordering of permutations as used by the less-than and increment operators. Moreover, compareWith() is slower than the less-than operator to compute.

Parameters

other the permutation with which to compare this.

Returns: -1 if this permutation produces a smaller image, 0 if the permutations are equal and 1 if this permutation produces a greater image.

◆ contract()

template<int k>

static constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::contract ( Perm< k > p )

staticconstexpr

Restricts a k-element permutation to an 6-element permutation, where k > 6.

The resulting permutation will map 0,...,5 to their respective images under p, and will ignore the "unused" images p[6],...,p[k-1].

Precondition: The given permutation maps 0,...,5 to 0,...,5 in some order.

Template Parameters

k	the number of elements for the input permutation; this must be strictly greater than 6.

Parameters

p	a permutation on k elements.

Returns: the same permutation restricted to a permutation on 6 elements.

◆ extend()

template<int k>

static constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::extend ( Perm< k > p )

staticconstexpr

Extends a k-element permutation to a 6-element permutation, where 2 ≤ k < 6.

The resulting permutation will map 0,...,k-1 to their respective images under p, and will map the "unused" elements k,...,5 to themselves.

Template Parameters

k	the number of elements for the input permutation; this must be 2, 3, 4 or 5.

Parameters

p	a permutation on k elements.

Returns: the same permutation expressed as a permutation on six elements.

◆ fromImagePack()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::fromImagePack ( ImagePack pack )

inlinestaticconstexpr

See the class notes for more information on image packs, and how they are used to build the old first-generation permutation codes.

For Perm<6>, this routine is identical to fromPermCode1().

Precondition: The argument pack is a valid image pack; see isImagePack() for details.

Parameters

pack	an image pack that describes a permutation.

Returns: the permutation represented by the given image pack.

◆ fromPermCode()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::fromPermCode ( Code1 code )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Deprecated routine that creates a permutation from the given first-generation permutation code.

Precondition: the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code; see isPermCode1() for details.

Deprecated:: Use fromPermCode1() to reproduce this behaviour. However, unless you need backward compatibility, it is strongly recommended to switch to the much faster second-generation codes instead.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine fromPermCode2() for details.

Parameters

Returns: the permutation represented by the given code.

◆ fromPermCode1()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::fromPermCode1 ( Code1 code )

Precondition: the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code; see isPermCode1() for details.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine fromPermCode2() for details.

Parameters

code	the first-generation code for the new permutation.

Returns: the permutation represented by the given code.

◆ fromPermCode2()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::fromPermCode2 ( Code2 code )

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<6> class.

Precondition: the given code is a valid second-generation permutation code; see isPermCode2() for details.

code	the second-generation code for the new permutation.

Returns: the permutation represented by the given code.

◆ imagePack()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::ImagePack regina::Perm< 6 >::imagePack ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the image pack that represents this permutation.

See the class notes for more information on image packs, and how they are used to build the old first-generation permutation codes.

For Perm<6>, this routine is identical to permCode1().

Returns: the image pack for this permutation.

◆ index()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Index regina::Perm< 6 >::index ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Deprecated routine that returns the lexicographical index of this permutation.

Deprecated:: Use the equivalent routine orderedSnIndex() instead.

Returns: the lexicographical index of this permutation.

◆ inverse()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::inverse ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Finds the inverse of this permutation.

Returns: the inverse of this permutation.

◆ isConjugacyMinimal()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isConjugacyMinimal ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Is this permutation minimal in its conjugacy class?

Here "minimal" means that, amongst all its conjugates, this permutation has the smallest index in the array Perm<6>::Sn.

See Sn for further information on how permutations are indexed.

This routine is extremely fast for Perm<6>, since it essentially uses a hard-coded lookup table.

Returns: true if and only if this permutation is minimal in its conjugacy class.

◆ isIdentity()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isIdentity ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines if this is the identity permutation.

This is true if and only if each of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 is mapped to itself.

Returns: true if and only if this is the identity permutation.

◆ isImagePack()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isImagePack ( ImagePack pack )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given argument is the image pack of some 6-element permutation.

See the class notes for more information on image packs, and how they are used to build the old first-generation permutation codes.

For Perm<6>, this routine is identical to isPermCode1().

Parameters

pack	the candidate image pack to test.

Returns: true if and only if pack is a valid image pack.

◆ isPermCode()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isPermCode ( Code1 code )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Deprecated routine that determines whether the given character is a valid first-generation permutation code.

Deprecated:: Use isPermCode1() to reproduce this behaviour. However, unless you need backward compatibility, it is strongly recommended to switch to the much faster second-generation codes instead.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine isPermCode2() for details.

Parameters

code	the permutation code to test.

Returns: true if and only if the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code.

◆ isPermCode1()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isPermCode1 ( Code1 code )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given character is a valid first-generation permutation code.

Valid first-generation codes can be passed to setPermCode1() or fromPermCode1(), and are returned by permCode1().

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine isPermCode2() for details.

Parameters

code	the permutation code to test.

Returns: true if and only if the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code.

◆ isPermCode2()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::isPermCode2 ( Code2 code )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given character is a valid second-generation permutation code.

Valid second-generation codes can be passed to setPermCode2() or fromPermCode2(), and are returned by permCode2().

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<6> class.

Parameters

code	the permutation code to test.

Returns: true if and only if the given code is a valid second-generation permutation code.

◆ operator!=()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::operator!= ( const Perm< 6 > & other ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines if this differs from the given permutation.

This is true if and only if the two permutations have different images for at least one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

Parameters

other the permutation with which to compare this.

Returns: true if and only if this and the given permutation differ.

◆ operator*()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::operator* ( const Perm< 6 > & q ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the composition of this permutation with the given permutation.

If this permutation is p, the resulting permutation will be p o q, satisfying (p*q)[x] == p[q[x]].

For permutations of five and fewer objects, composition is extremely fast because it uses hard-coded lookup tables. However, for Perm<6> these tables would grow too large and so Regina adopts a hybrid approach: it uses "partial tables" which are significantly smaller, combined with a small amount of computation.

If you do need your compositions to be as fast as possible, with no computation required at all, then you can:

call precompute() to precompute a full 720-by-720 lookup table in advance (this will consume roughly 1MB of memory); and then
call cachedComp() instead of the * operator to compute your compositions.

Parameters

q	the permutation to compose this with.

Returns: the composition of both permutations.

◆ operator++() [1/2]

Perm< 6 > & regina::Perm< 6 >::operator++ ( )

inline

A preincrement operator that changes this to be the next permutation in the array Perm<6>::Sn.

If this is the last such permutation then this will wrap around to become the first permutation in Perm<6>::Sn, which is the identity.

Python: Not present, although the postincrement operator is present in python as the member function inc().

Returns: a reference to this permutation after the increment.

◆ operator++() [2/2]

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::operator++ ( int )

inlineconstexpr

A postincrement operator that changes this to be the next permutation in the array Perm<6>::Sn.

If this is the last such permutation then this will wrap around to become the first permutation in Perm<6>::Sn, which is the identity.

Python: This routine is named inc() since python does not support the increment operator.

Returns: a copy of this permutation before the increment took place.

◆ operator<()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::operator< ( const Perm< 6 > & rhs ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines if this appears earlier than the given permutation in the array Perm<6>::Sn.

Note that this is not the same ordering of permutations as the ordering implied by compareWith(). This is, however, consistent with the ordering implied by the ++ operators, and this order is also faster to compute than compareWith().

Parameters

rhs	the permutation to compare this against.

Returns: true if and only if this appears before rhs in Sn.

◆ operator=()

Perm< 6 > & regina::Perm< 6 >::operator= ( const Perm< 6 > & cloneMe )

default

Sets this permutation to be equal to the given permutation.

Parameters

cloneMe the permutation whose value will be assigned to this permutation.

Returns: a reference to this permutation.

◆ operator==()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 6 >::operator== ( const Perm< 6 > & other ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines if this is equal to the given permutation.

This is true if and only if both permutations have the same images for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Parameters

other the permutation with which to compare this.

Returns: true if and only if this and the given permutation are equal.

◆ operator[]()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::operator[] ( int source ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines the image of the given integer under this permutation.

Parameters

source the integer whose image we wish to find. This should be between 0 and 5 inclusive.

Returns: the image of source.

◆ order()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::order ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the order of this permutation.

In other words; this routine returns the smallest positive integer k for which the kth power of this permutation is the identity.

Returns: the order of this permutation.

◆ orderedS6Index()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Index regina::Perm< 6 >::orderedS6Index ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the lexicographical index of this permutation.

This will be the index of this permutation in the Perm<6>::orderedSn array.

This is a dimension-specific alias for orderedSnIndex(). In general, for every n there will be a member function Perm<n>::orderedSnIndex(); however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::orderedS2Index(), ..., Perm<6>::orderedS6Index() are only available for small n.

See orderedSn for further information on lexicographical ordering.

Returns: the lexicographical index of this permutation. This will be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

◆ orderedSnIndex()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Index regina::Perm< 6 >::orderedSnIndex ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the lexicographical index of this permutation.

This will be the index of this permutation in the Perm<6>::orderedSn array.

See orderedSn for further information on lexicographical ordering.

Returns: the lexicographical index of this permutation. This will be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

◆ permCode()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Code1 regina::Perm< 6 >::permCode ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Deprecated routine that returns the first-generation code representing this permutation.

The code returned will be a valid first-generation permutation code as determined by isPermCode1().

Deprecated:: Use permCode1() to reproduce this behaviour. However, unless you need backward compatibility, it is strongly recommended to switch to the much faster second-generation codes instead.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine permCode2() for details.

Returns: the first-generation permutation code.

◆ permCode1()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Code1 regina::Perm< 6 >::permCode1 ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the first-generation code representing this permutation.

This code is sufficient to reproduce the entire permutation.

The code returned will be a valid first-generation permutation code as determined by isPermCode1().

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine permCode2() for details.

Returns: the first-generation permutation code.

◆ permCode2()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Code2 regina::Perm< 6 >::permCode2 ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the second-generation code representing this permutation.

This code is sufficient to reproduce the entire permutation.

The code returned will be a valid second-generation permutation code as determined by isPermCode2().

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<6> class.

Returns: the second-generation permutation code.

◆ pow()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::pow ( long exp ) const

inlineconstexpr

Computes the given power of this permutation.

This routine runs in constant time.

For Perm<6>, this routine makes use of the "partial" product tables, which (as seen with the composition operator) require some small amount of extra computation to use. If you need your powers to be as fast as possible, you can instead:

call precompute() to precompute a full 720-by-720 product table in advance (this will consume roughly 1MB of memory); and then
call cachedPow() instead of pow() to make full use of this table, which will remove some (but not all) of the mathematical overhead from this routine.

Parameters

exp	the exponent; this may be positive, zero or negative.

Returns: this permutation raised to the power of exp.

◆ pre()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::pre ( int image ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines the preimage of the given integer under this permutation.

Parameters

image the integer whose preimage we wish to find. This should be between 0 and 5 inclusive.

Returns: the preimage of image.

◆ precompute()

static void regina::Perm< 6 >::precompute ( )

static

Performs the precomputation necessary for using the optimised cachedComp() and cachedPow() routines.

This must be called before calling cachedComp() or cachedPow().

This only needs to be done once in the lifetime of the program. If you do try to call precompute() a second time then it will do nothing and return immediately.

This routine is thread-safe.

◆ preImageOf()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::preImageOf ( int image ) const

inlineconstexpr

Deprecated routine that determines the preimage of the given integer under this permutation.

Deprecated:: This routine has been renamed to pre().

Parameters

image the integer whose preimage we wish to find. This should be between 0 and 5 inclusive.

Returns: the preimage of image.

◆ rand() [1/2]

Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::rand ( bool even = false )

inlinestatic

Returns a random permutation on six elements.

All permutations are returned with equal probability.

This routine is thread-safe, and uses RandomEngine for its random number generation.

Warning: This routine is expensive, since it locks and unlocks the mutex protecting Regina's global uniform random bit generator. If you are calling this many times in quick succession, consider creating a single RandomEngine object yourself and then calling rand(randomEngine.engine(), even).

Parameters

even	if `true`, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (and again all even permutations are returned with equal probability).

Returns: a random permutation.

◆ rand() [2/2]

template<class URBG >

static Perm regina::Perm< 6 >::rand	(	URBG &&	gen,
		bool	even = `false`
	)

static

Returns a random permutation on six elements, using the given uniform random bit generator.

All permutations are returned with equal probability.

The thread safety of this routine is of course dependent on the thread safety of your uniform random bit generator gen.

Template Parameters

URBG	A type which, once any references are removed, must adhere to the C++ UniformRandomBitGenerator concept.

Python: Not present, though the non-thread-safe variant without the gen argument is available.

Parameters

gen	the source of randomness to use (e.g., one of the many options provided in the C++ standard `random` header).
even	if `true`, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (and again all even permutations are returned with equal probability).

Returns: a random permutation.

◆ reverse()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::reverse ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Finds the reverse of this permutation.

Here reverse means that we reverse the images of 0,...,5. In other words, if permutation q is the reverse of p, then p[i] == q[5 - i] for all i.

◆ rot()

constexpr Perm< 6 > regina::Perm< 6 >::rot ( int i )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Returns the ith rotation.

This maps k to k + i (mod 6) for all k.

Parameters

i	the image of 0; this must be between 0 and 5 inclusive.

Returns: the ith rotation.

◆ S6Index()

constexpr Perm< 6 >::Index regina::Perm< 6 >::S6Index ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the index of this permutation in the Perm<6>::S6 array.

This is a dimension-specific alias for SnIndex(). In general, for every n there will be a member function Perm<n>::SnIndex(); however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::S2Index(), ..., Perm<6>::S6Index() are only available for small n.

See Sn for further information on how these permutations are indexed.

Returns: the index i for which this permutation is equal to Perm<6>::S6[i]. This will be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

◆ setPermCode()

void regina::Perm< 6 >::setPermCode ( Code1 code )

inline

Deprecated routine that sets this permutation to that represented by the given first-generation permutation code.

Deprecated:: Use setPermCode1() to reproduce this behaviour. However, unless you need backward compatibility, it is strongly recommended to switch to the much faster second-generation codes instead.

Precondition: the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code; see isPermCode1() for details.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine setPermCode2() for details.

◆ setPermCode1()

void regina::Perm< 6 >::setPermCode1 ( Code1 code )

Precondition: the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code; see isPermCode1() for details.

Warning: This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<6> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine setPermCode2() for details.

Parameters

code	the first-generation code that will determine the new value of this permutation.

◆ setPermCode2()

void regina::Perm< 6 >::setPermCode2 ( Code2 code )

inline

Sets this permutation to that represented by the given second-generation permutation code.

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<6> class.

Parameters

code	the second-generation code that will determine the new value of this permutation.

◆ sign()

◆ str()

std::string regina::Perm< 6 >::str ( ) const

Returns a string representation of this permutation.

The representation will consist of six adjacent digits representing the images of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively. An example of a string representation is 304521.

◆ trunc()

std::string regina::Perm< 6 >::trunc ( unsigned len ) const

Code2 regina::Perm< 6 >::code2_

protected

The internal second-generation permutation code representing this permutation.

◆ codeType

constexpr PermCodeType regina::Perm< 6 >::codeType = PERM_CODE_INDEX

staticconstexpr

Indicates what type of internal permutation code is used by this instance of the Perm class template.

◆ imageBits

constexpr int regina::Perm< 6 >::imageBits = 3

staticconstexpr

Indicates the number of bits used in an image pack to store the image of a single integer.

A full image pack combines 6 such images together, and so uses 6 * imageBits bits in total.

=

(static_cast<ImagePack>(1) << imageBits) - 1

regina::Perm< 6 >::imageBits

Indicates the number of bits used in an image pack to store the image of a single integer.

Definition: perm6.h:170

regina::Perm< 6 >::ImagePack

uint32_t ImagePack

Indicates the native unsigned integer type used to store a single image pack.

Definition: perm6.h:178

A bitmask whose lowest imageBits bits are 1, and whose remaining higher order bits are all 0.

This may be useful when creating or analysing image packs.

◆ nPerms

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 6 >::nPerms = 720

staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on six elements.

This is the size of the array Sn.

◆ nPerms_1

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 6 >::nPerms_1 = 120

staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on five elements.

This is the size of the symmetric group S₅.

◆ orderedS6

constexpr OrderedS6Lookup regina::Perm< 6 >::orderedS6 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of six elements in lexicographical order.

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<6>::orderedSn; see that member for further information. In general, for every n there will be a static member Perm<n>::orderedSn; however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::orderedS2, ..., Perm<6>::orderedS6 are only available for small n.

◆ orderedSn

constexpr OrderedS6Lookup regina::Perm< 6 >::orderedSn {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of six elements in lexicographical order.

To access the permutation at index i, you simply use the square bracket operator: orderedSn[i]. The index i must be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

Lexicographical ordering treats each permutation p as the ordered pair (p[0], ..., p[5]).

Accessing elements through this object is extremely fast. The object that is returned is lightweight and is defined in the headers only; in particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but you can always make a copy).

This is different from Perm<6>::Sn, since this array orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order, whereas Sn alternates between even and odd permutations.

◆ S6

constexpr S6Lookup regina::Perm< 6 >::S6 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of six elements.

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<6>::Sn; see that member for further information. In general, for every n there will be a static member Perm<n>::Sn; however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::S2, ..., Perm<6>::S6 are only available for small n.

◆ Sn

constexpr S6Lookup regina::Perm< 6 >::Sn {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of six elements.

To access the permutation at index i, you simply use the square bracket operator: Sn[i]. The index i must be between 0 and 719 inclusive.

Accessing elements through this object is extremely fast. The object that is returned is lightweight and is defined in the headers only; in particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but you can always make a copy).

The permutations with even indices in the array are the even permutations, and those with odd indices in the array are the odd permutations.

This is different from Perm<6>::orderedSn, since this array Sn alternates between even and odd permutations, whereas orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order.
