Permutation.get_positional_distance() : get_positional_distance() is a sympy Python library function that calculates the positional distance between two permutations.
Syntax :
sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.get_positional_distance()Return :
positional distance between two permutations
Code #1 : get_positional_distance() Example
# Python code explaining # SymPy.Permutation.get_positional_distance() # importing SymPy libraries from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation # Using from # sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.get_positional_distance() method # creating Permutation a = Permutation([ 2 , 0 , 3 , 1 , 5 , 4 ]) b = Permutation([ 3 , 1 , 2 , 5 , 4 , 0 ]) c = Permutation([ 0 , 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 2 ]) print ( "a - get_positional_distance form b: " , a.get_positional_distance(b)) print ( "b - get_positional_distance form c: " , b.get_positional_distance(c)) |
Output :
a – get_positional_distance form b: 12
b – get_positional_distance form c: 8
Code #2 : get_positional_distance() Example – 2D Permutation
# Python code explaining # SymPy.Permutation.get_positional_distance() # importing SymPy libraries from sympy.combinatorics.partitions import Partition from sympy.combinatorics.permutations import Permutation # Using from # sympy.combinatorics.permutations.Permutation.get_positional_distance() method # creating Permutation a = Permutation([[ 2 , 4 , 0 ], [ 7 , 1 , 3 ], [ 8 , 5 , 6 ]]) b = Permutation([[ 8 , 4 , 0 ], [ 2 , 7 , 0 ], [ 1 , 6 , 7 ]]) print ( "a get_positional_distance form b : " , a.get_positional_distance(b)) |
Output :
a get_positional_distance form b : 22
