Problem with permutations

Revision en2, by VMaksimoski008, 2023-06-26 18:32:34

The input consists of natural number N and M (N <= 2*10^5 and M < N). \n Then you are given a permutation of numbers [1, N] \n You should sort the given array, but only the following operation is allowed: \n Chose a number with index from [0, M-1] and choose a number from [M, N-1], then swap then. \n What is the minimum number of operations to sort the array? \n Example: \n 5 3 \n 1 2 3 5 4 \n 1 2 5 3 4 (swap 3 and 5) \n 1 2 4 3 5 (swap 4 and 5) \n [1 2 3 4 5] (swap 3 and 4, now the array is sorted, total steps = 3) \n \n Any idea on how to solve this problem?
