Inversion Count Problem
Given an integer array ARR
of size N
with all distinct values, determine the total number of 'Inversions' that exist.
Explanation:
An inversion is a pair of indices (i, j)
such that:
ARR[i] > ARR[j]
i < j
Input:
N
ARR[0] ARR[1] ... ARR[N-1]
Output:
The total count of inversions in the array.
Example:
Input:
5
2 4 1 3 5
Output:
3
Explanation:
There are 3 inversions in the array: (2, 1), (4, 1), and (4, 3).
Constraints:
1 <= N <= 10^5
1 <= ARR[i] <= 10^9
Note:
You do not need to print anything; just implement the function that returns the count of inversions.
