2340. Minimum Adjacent Swaps to Make a Valid Array

Description

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums.

Swaps of adjacent elements are able to be performed on nums.

A valid array meets the following conditions:

  • The largest element (any of the largest elements if there are multiple) is at the rightmost position in the array.
  • The smallest element (any of the smallest elements if there are multiple) is at the leftmost position in the array.

Return the minimum swaps required to make nums a valid array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,4,5,5,3,1]
Output: 6
Explanation: Perform the following swaps:
- Swap 1: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,5,1].
- Swap 2: Swap the 4th and 5th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,3,1,5].
- Swap 3: Swap the 3rd and 4th elements, nums is then [3,4,5,1,3,5].
- Swap 4: Swap the 2nd and 3rd elements, nums is then [3,4,1,5,3,5].
- Swap 5: Swap the 1st and 2nd elements, nums is then [3,1,4,5,3,5].
- Swap 6: Swap the 0th and 1st elements, nums is then [1,3,4,5,3,5].
It can be shown that 6 swaps is the minimum swaps required to make a valid array.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9]
Output: 0
Explanation: The array is already valid, so we return 0.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 105
