Minimum Swaps to Sort
Minimum Swaps to Sort
You are given an array of ( n ) integers. Your task is to determine the minimum number of swaps required to sort the array in ascending order. The solution is based on identifying cycles in the permutation of indices. Recall that in a cycle of length ( k ), the number of swaps required is ( k - 1 ).
inputFormat
The input consists of two lines. The first line contains an integer ( n ), representing the number of elements in the array. The second line contains ( n ) space-separated integers representing the array elements.
outputFormat
Output a single integer: the minimum number of swaps required to sort the array in ascending order.## sample
