Canadian Computing Olympiad: 2020 Day 1, Problem 2
Bob has programming exercises that he needs to complete before their deadlines. Exercise only takes one time unit to complete, but has a deadline time units from now.
Bob will solve the exercises in an order described by a sequence , such that is the first exercise he solves, is the second exercise he solves, and so on. Bob's original plan is described by the sequence . With one swap operation, Bob can exchange two adjacent numbers in this sequence. What is the minimum number of swaps required to change this sequence into one that completes all exercises on time?
Input Specification
The first line consists of a single integer . The next line contains space-separated integers .
