Replying to [comment:2 kcrisman]:
**Thanks for your prompt reply!
> Thanks for trying, knsam! The issue is that {{{``letters``}}} should be
{{{``'letters'``}}} and so should the others in that list be changed.
Secondly, if you look at the thing that is actually done in the method for
Cayley tables (a good beginner exercise is to search for where this code
is!), you'll see that {{{``elements``}}} actually returns a list of
strings, not the actual list of elements - I think!
I have figured out where this piece of code is. But, I don't follow what
you mean when you say ``elements`` returns a list of string as opposed to
actual elements. Here's what I tried:
{{{
sage: G = CyclicPermutationGroup(4)
sage: L = G.list()
[(), (1,2,3,4), (1,3)(2,4), (1,4,3,2)]
sage: L[2] * L[3]
(1,2,3,4)
}}}
So, it does return a list of elements, not strings.
> Don't hesitate to ask more, of course. We like to make the curve as
easy as possible to developing, though it could be even easier.
Thanks for offerring to help.
Finally, you'd like that ``letters``, ``elements`` be changed to
``'letters'`` and ``'elements'``, right?
