Statement

Let nNn\in\mathbb{N}, let σSn\sigma\in S_n be a permutation in the sense of Permutation of the Set {1,,r}\{1,\dots,r\}, and suppose that

σ=τr1τrN,\sigma=\tau_{r_1}\circ\cdots\circ\tau_{r_N},

where each τrj\tau_{r_j} is an adjacent transposition as in Every Permutation is a Product of Adjacent Transpositions. Then

sgn(σ)=(1)N,\operatorname{sgn}(\sigma)=(-1)^N,

where sgn(σ)\operatorname{sgn}(\sigma) is the sign from Sign of a Permutation.
