HackerEarth Sherlock and Special Count problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Sherlock and Special, Count problem solution Let’s say P= [P1, P2 . . . PN] is a permutation of all positive integers less than or equal to N. A function called “special count” F(P) is defined as:
F(P) = sigma(i=1,N)|Pi – i|
Now Watson gives an N and K to Sherlock and asks if K is a possible special count for any permutation of first N positive integers.
