Homework Statement
This is not really a question. More of an understanding issue. They have created a table for the alternating group of degree 4 in my book and I'm having trouble understanding it.

Homework Equations
Cycle notation.
The Attempt at a Solution
So I can understand why (1)(1) = (1), but for something like (12)(34)(12)(34) = (1) I am unsure of how they've done this and then later on they somehow get (123)(123) = (13)(12)(13)(12) = (132).
The table in general is somewhat confusing to me. Any help with this one would be appreciated.
