Hi GAP members I asked previously http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1570893/which-algorithm-gap-uses-to-check-equality-of-two-groups for finding the source of an "operation" in GAP. Also there is already an answer for finding the source of a "function" in GAP.
My question is how to find the source of an "Attribute" in GAP? For ex. i want to find the Algorithm for finding the `stabilizer` of a `SymmetricGroup` gap> s4:=SymmetricGroup(4); Sym( [ 1 .. 4 ] ) gap> Stabilizer; function( arg ) ... end gap> StabilizerOfExternalSet; # this is used for SymmetricGroup in particular <Attribute "StabilizerOfExternalSet"> gap> func:=ApplicableMethod(StabilizerOfExternalSet, [s4]); fail gap> It fails. Is there another method instead of using `ApplicableMethod`? Above i used `StabilizerOfExternalSet` after seeing the source code for `Stabilizer`.
