HackerEarth Swapping numbers problem solution

In this HackerEarth Swapping numbers problem solution You are given a permutation p1,p2,…pn of numbers from 1 to n.

A permutation p1,p2,…,pn, beauty, is defined as the minimum number of adjacent swaps required to sort the permutation.

If it is allowed to swap two elements of the permutation (not necessarily adjacent) at most once, then what is the minimum beauty that you can get?
