HackerEarth Permutation 2 problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202416 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Permutation problem solution Given a permutation of 1 to n, you need to perform some operations to make it into increasing order. Each operation is to reverse an interval a1,a2,…,ax(1<=x,+n) (a prefix). Your goal is to minimize the number of operations.
