Python | SymPy Permutation.cycles() method

0 0 1 minute read

Permutation.cycles() : cycles() is a sympy Python library function that returns the number of cycles present in the permutation. This also includes the singleton.

Syntax :
sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.cycles()

Return :
number of cycles present in the permutation

Code #1 : cycles() Example

# Python code explaining 
# SymPy.Permutation.cycles() 
  
# importing SymPy libraries 
from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition 
from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation 
  
# Using from sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.cycles() method  
  
# creating Permutation 
a = Permutation([2, 0, 3, 1, 5, 4]) 
  
b = Permutation([3, 1, 2, 5, 4, 0]) 
  
  
print ("Permutation a - cycles form : ", a.cycles) 
print ("Permutation b - cycles form : ", b.cycles) 

Output :

Permutation a – cycles form : 2
Permutation b – cycles form : 4

Code #2 : cycles() Example – 2D Permutation

# Python code explaining 
# SymPy.Permutation.cycles() 
  
# importing SymPy libraries 
from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition 
from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation 
  
# Using from  
# sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.cycles() method  
  
# creating Permutation 
a = Permutation([[2, 4, 0],  
                 [3, 1, 2], 
                 [1, 5, 6]])
