HackerRank Largest Permutation problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202430 November 2025

In this HackerRank Largest Permutation problem solution, You are given an unordered array of unique integers incrementing from 1. You can swap any two elements a limited number of times. Determine the largest lexicographical value array that can be created by executing no more than the limited number of swaps.
