HackerEarth Let's swap problem solution

In this HackerEarth Let’s swap problem solution Y is alone too and has a permutation p1,p2,…,pn of numbers from 1 to n.

Y thinks that a permutation p1,p2,…,pn beautifulness is defined as value of Sigma|Pi – i|, 1<= i <= n.

Y can swap two elements of the permutation at most once, what is the maximum beautifulness that Y can get?
