The Objects

The object is the only datatype of SYMMETRICA. It is a structure with two components. Using the information about the kind of the object in question, the global routine add, for example, can switch to the correct subroutine. This information is of the datatype OBJECTKIND which is defined in the file "def.h". There are several kinds of objects which are used in SYMMETRICA . The most important objects are:
EMPTY INTEGER VECTOR
PARTITION PERMUTATION LIST
POLYNOM SCHUR MATRIX
SYMCHARSKEWPARTITIONTABLEAUX
The complete list is in the file "def.h", which defines these names. The different kinds of objects are described in the following section of this chapter.
  • The empty object
  • Integers
  • Vectors
  • Partitions
  • Permutations
  • Lists
  • Polynomials
  • Schur polynomials
  • Matrices
  • Characters of symmetric groups
  • Skewpartitions
  • Tableaux
