swap()

Read(2091) Label: interval, integer sequence, swap,

Here’s how to use swap() function.

A.swa p()

Description:

Generate a new sequence by swapping the positions of two intervals in a sequence specified by two integer sequences.

Syntax:

A.swap(p,q)

Note:

This function swaps positions between two intervals in sequence A that are respectively specified by two integer sequences that do not overlap each other.

Parameter:

A

A sequence

p

An integer sequence composed of positive integers, for example [1,2,3 ], i.e. to (1,3)

q

An integer sequence composed of positive integers that doesn’t have intersection with p, for example [4,5,6], i.e. to(4,6)

Return value:

Sequence

Example:

 

A

 

1

[a,b,c,d,e,f,g.h.i.j.k]

 

2

=A1.swap(to(1,3),to(4,6))

[d,e,f,a,b,c,g.h.i.j.k].

3

=A1.swap(to(1,4),to(4,6))

Error message appears because the two intervals in A3 overlap each other.

Note:

The two intervals to be swapped in a sequence should not overlap each other.
