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
