Given an array arr[] consisting of a permutation of first N natural numbers, the task is to find the minimum number of clockwise circular rotations of the array required to maximise the number of elements satisfying the condition arr[i] = i ( 1-based indexing ) where 1 ? i ? N.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {4, 5, 1, 2, 3}
Output: 3
Explanation: Rotating the array thrice, the array modifies to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. All the array elements satisfy the condition arr[i] = i.

Input: arr[] = {3, 4, 1, 5, 2}
Output: 2
Explanation: Rotating the array twice, the array modifies to {5, 2, 3, 4, 1}. Three array elements satisfy the condition arr[i] = i, which is the maximum possible for the given array.

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Initialize two integers maxi and ans, and two arrays new_arr[] and freq[].
  • Traverse the array arr[] an for each element, count the number of indices separating it from its correct position, i.e |(arr[i] – i + N) % N|.
  • Store the counts for each array element in a new array new_arr[].
  • Store the count of frequencies of each element in new_arr[] in the array freq[].
  • Print the element ith maximum frequency as the required answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count the number of
// clockwise array rotations required
// to maximize count of array elements
// present at indices same as their value
void find_min_rot(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Stores count of indices separating
    // elements from its correct position
    int new_arr[n + 1];
    int maxi = 1, ans = 0;
 
    // Stores frequencies of counts of
    // indices separating
    int freq[n + 1];
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        freq[i] = 0;
    }
 
    // Count indices separating each
    // element from its correct position
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
        new_arr[i] = (arr[i] - i + n) % n;
    }
 
    // Update frequencies of counts obtained
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
        freq[new_arr[i]]++;
    }
 
    // Find the count with maximum frequency
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
        if (freq[i] > maxi) {
            maxi = freq[i];
            ans = i;
        }
    }
 
    // Print the answer
    cout << ans << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    int N = 5;
    int arr[] = { -1, 3, 4, 1, 5, 2 };
 
    // Find minimum number of
    // array rotations required
    find_min_rot(arr, N);
 
    return 0;
}

    // Stores frequencies of counts of
