[GAP Forum] Creating an Orbit Function

[hetheo01 at student.uwa.edu.au]

Hi

I am trying to complete a research project in which I need to define  
my own function to compute the orbit of a point given a sequence of  
permutations. I am aware that GAP has a predetermined function for  
computing the orbit of a point, however the requirements of this  
project require me to define all the functions by myself.

Can you tell me how the "Orbit" function works (can I access the code  
from GAP to simplify it), or can you get me started on how to program  
my function.

Thanks

Owen
