Dear Pubbers I typed the following commands: gap> W:=WreathProduct(SymmetricGroup(3),CyclicGroup(4));; gap> ele:=Elements(W);; gap>x:=ele[4]; gap>y:=ele[228];
Here are my questions: If I end the above GAP session and again (after some while!) open a new session and repeat the commands above, should I get the same x and y as the first time? if so, is this a general rule (at least for the above commands)? Actually, I would like to use the above form in a research article, so the doubt is whether the above question has positive answer or not?! My experience show that we always get the same for x and y or some other element! Of course, I know that the best/worst way is to locate the elements x and y in W by fixing a generating set for W and then I do not cite GAP, which is not fair!! Sorry in advance, if my question is very stupid; and thanks for any friendly help.
