Permutations of an array - APL

+1
−0

In Dyalog APL, there's a predefined function in the dfns library to generate a matrix of permutations for a list of the numbers from 1 to n.

I want to create the same functionality, except that it should work for any array, not just a range 1 to n, in APL NARS2000.

How do I implement that?

I assume the built-in definition you're referring to is pmat. That illustrates how to solve your problem near the bottom. The idea is simply if σ is a permutation of length N and A is an array of length N, then A[σ] is A permuted by σ. This leads to a definition like:

permute←{⍵[pmat⊃⍴⍵]}

with

permute 'abc'

producing

abc
acb
bac
bca
cab
cba

(The example in the documentation uses {⍵[pmat⍴⍵]} but this seemed to lead to rank errors when I tried it in online interpreters using one of the definitions of pmat listed on that page.)
