rearrange
SYNOPSIS
Rearrange the elements of a 1-d array or list.
USAGE
rearrange (A, indices)
DESCRIPTION
This function performs an in-place rearrangment of the the elements
of an array according to the specified permutation, represented by
the `indices' argument. The `indices' array is assumed to
contain unique integers in the range `[0,length(A)-1]'.
NOTES
The function modifies the elements of the `indices' array while
it performs the rearrangement. The values will get restored upon
return from function.
The algorithm used was derived from the DPPERM function, which is
part of the SLATEC package. See
`http://gams.nist.gov/cgi-bin/serve.cgi/Package/SLATEC'.

reverse
SYNOPSIS
Reverse the elements of a 1-d array
USAGE
Array_Type reverse (Array_Type A)
DESCRIPTION
The `reverse' function reverses the elements of a 1-d array and
returns the result.

shift
SYNOPSIS
Shift the elements of a 1-d array
USAGE
Array_Type shift (Array_Type A, Int_Type n)
DESCRIPTION
The `shift' function shifts the elements of an array by a specified amount
and returns the result. If `n' is positive, the ith element of the array
will be shifted to the position `i-n' of the array. Elements for
which `i-n' is less than 0 will be moved to the end of the array.
EXAMPLE
A = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
B = shift (A, 3); % ==> B = [4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3];
C = shift (A, -1); % ==> C = [9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8];
NOTES
It many ways `rotate' would be a better name for this function.
