Our notation:
D
n
, called "
dihedral group
of degree
n
",
means
the
dihedral group
of the
regular polygon
with
n
sides, and therefore has order
2
n
(all
rotations
+ flips), called the "
dihedral group
of
order
2n".

The
dihedral group
D
2
n
is generated by
a
rotation
r
of order
n
and
a
reflection
s
with
srs
=
r
−
1
; it has order
2
n
.
