HackerEarth Count the permutations problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202414 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Count the permutations problem solution You are given two sequences A and B of length N. Determine the number of different ways to permute sequence A such that it is lexicographically smaller than the sequence B.
 
A sequence (X1,X2,…,Xk) is strictly lexicographically smaller than a sequence (Y1,Y2,…,YK), if there exists an index t (1 <= t <= K)  such that:
  1. Xt < Yt
  2. Xr = Yr for all 1 <= r < t
A permutation X of A is considered different from another permutation Y of A, if there exists an index i (1 <= i <= N) such that Xi != Yi. For example:
 
If A = (1,1,1), then there is only one different permutation of A. 
If A = (1,1,2,2), then there are 6 different permutations of A.
