[docs]def DirectProduct(*groups):
"""
Returns the direct product of several groups as a permutation group.
This is implemented much like the __mul__ procedure for taking the direct
product of two permutation groups, but the idea of shifting the
generators is realized in the case of an arbitrary number of groups.
A call to DirectProduct(G1, G2, ..., Gn) is generally expected to be faster
than a call to G1*G2*...*Gn (and thus the need for this algorithm).
Examples
========
>>> from sympy.combinatorics.group_constructs import DirectProduct
>>> from sympy.combinatorics.named_groups import CyclicGroup
>>> C = CyclicGroup(4)
>>> G = DirectProduct(C, C, C)
>>> G.order()
