Mapping the Swaps

Problem code: TQ1

  • All Submissions

Mapping the Swaps Sorting an array can be done by swapping certain pairs of adjacent entries in the array. This is the fundamental technique used in the well-known bubble sort. If we list the identities of the pairs to be swapped, in the sequence they are to be swapped, we obtain what might be called a swap map. For example, suppose we wish to sort the array A whose elements are 3, 2, and 1 in that order. If the subscripts for this array are 1, 2, and 3, sorting the array can be accomplished by swapping A2 and A3, then swapping A1 and A2, and finally swapping A2 and A3. If a pair is identified in a swap map by indicating the subscript of the first element of the pair to be swapped, then this sorting process would be characterized with the swap map 2 1 2. It is instructive to note that there may be many ways in which swapping of adjacent array entries can be used to sort an array. The previous array, containing 3 2 1, could also be sorted by swapping A1 and A2, then swapping A2 and A3, and finally swapping A1 and A2 again. The swap map that describes this sorting sequence is 1 2 1. For a given array, how many different swap maps exist? A little thought will show that there are an infinite number of swap maps, since sequential swapping of an arbitrary pair of elements will not change the order of the elements. Thus the swap map 1 1 1 2 1 will also leave our array elements in ascending order. But how many swap maps of minimum size will place a given array in order? That is the question you are to answer in this problem. For each test case, print a message similar to those shown in the sample output below. In no test case will n be larger than 5.

Input

The input data will contain an arbitrary number of test cases, followed by a single 0. Each test case will have a integer n that gives the size of an array, and will be followed by the n integer values in the array.

Output

For each test case, print a message similar to those shown in the sample output below. In no test case will n be larger than 5.

Example

Input:

2 9 7
2 12 50
3 3 2 1
3 9 1 5
0

Output:
There are 1 swap maps for input data set 1.
There are 0 swap maps for input data set 2.
There are 2 swap maps for input data set 3.
There are 1 swap maps for input data set 4.

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of computer programming. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting programming contests on a monthly basis. We also aim to have training sessions and events related to online programming for programmers around the world. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Online programming was never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming competitions that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly programming contests and the shorter format Cook-off programming contests. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700 are up for grabs every month along with lots more CodeChef goodies.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be part of CodeChefs Forums and interact with all our programmers love helping out other programmers and share their ideas.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. Be a part of the CodeChef community through CodeChef meetups and techtalks. You can also host a programming contest for your institute on CodeChef and be a guest author on our blog.
