inversePermutation -- inverse permutation

• Usage:

  y = inversePermutation x

• Inputs:
  • x, a list, a list of length n whose elements are the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1, in some order, representing the permutation defined by sending i to x#i
• Outputs:
  • y, a list, the list representing the inverse permutation of x
