For example, the permutation of {1, 2, 3, 4} that sends 1 to 3, 2 to 4, 3 to 2 and 4 to 1 is a cycle, while the permutation that sends 1 to 3, 2 to 4, 3 to 1 and 4 to 2 is not (it separately permutes the pairs {1, 3} and {2, 4}).  The set &#039;&#039;S&#039;&#039; is called the [[orbit (group theory)|orbit]] of the cycle.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
