Partitions

Partitions

• The first component, the kind, tells us how they are coded,
• and the second part, the self-part, is an object, which implements the partition. At the moment there are two different implementations of partitions:
  • the first method, means that

    kind == VECTOR

    and the self part is a VECTORobject of INTEGERobjects, which are the parts of the partition,
  • the second method has

    kind == EXPONENT

    and the self part is again a VECTORobject of INTEGERobjects, which are now the multiplicities of the parts.
