A permutation is a mathematical object describing a rearrangement of some (finite) number of objects.
As an example, sorting an array gives you a permutation on the array indices.
Inversely, you can use any permutation on N
elements as a way to reorder an array of length N
(see [Permutation::apply
])
By default, permoot is no_std
.
No crate features are enabled by default.
- The std
feature enables a few extra features that require the standard library
- The rand
feature enables rand
support, allowing you to generate random permutations
I might add these if I come around to it:
- Iterator(s) over all permutations of a given length, according to some algorithm(s)
- serde
support
