Given two integers N and K. The task is to find the number of good permutations of the first N natural numbers. A permutation is called good if there exist at least N – K indices i (1 ? i ? N) such that Pi = i.

Examples: 

Input: N = 4, K = 1 
Output:
{1, 2, 3, 4} is the only possible good permutation.

Input: N = 5, K = 2 
Output: 11 

Approach: Let’s iterate on m which is the number of indices such that Pi does not equal i. Obviously, 0 ? m ? k
In order to count the number of permutations with fixed m, we need to choose the indices that have the property Pi not equals to i – there are nCm ways to do this, then we need to construct a permutation Q for chosen indices such that for every chosen index Qi is not equaled to i. Permutations with this property are called derangements and the number of derangements of fixed size can be calculated using an exhaustive search for m ? 4.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count of good permutations
int Permutations(int n, int k)
{
    // For m = 0, ans is 1
    int ans = 1;
 
    // If k is greater than 1
    if (k >= 2)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) / 2;
 
    // If k is greater than 2
    if (k >= 3)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * 2 / 6;
 
    // If k is greater than 3
    if (k >= 4)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * (n - 3) * 9 / 24;
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 5, k = 2;
    cout << Permutations(n, k);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the count of good permutations
static int Permutations(int n, int k)
{
    // For m = 0, ans is 1
    int ans = 1;
 
    // If k is greater than 1
    if (k >= 2)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) / 2;
 
    // If k is greater than 2
    if (k >= 3)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * 2 / 6;
 
    // If k is greater than 3
    if (k >= 4)
        ans += (n) * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * (n - 3) * 9 / 24;
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 5, k = 2;
    System.out.println(Permutations(n, k));
}
