1. Let U = {u1, u1, ..., un} be the universal set for all possible input sets. Write a function CHARFCN that given a set as input returns the charactericstic function of the set as a sequence.

2. Write a function TRANSPOSE that, given an nXn matrix, returns its transpose

3. Write a program that writes a given permutation as a product of disjoint cycles.

4. Write a program that writes a given permutation as a product of transpositions.

5. Use the program in Execerise 4 as a subroutine in a program that determines whether a given permution is ever or odd.
