Count Inversions Problem Statement
Given an integer array ARR
of size N
containing all distinct values, determine the total number of inversions present in the array.
An inversion is defined for a pair of integers in the array when the following two conditions are met:
ARR[i] > ARR[j]
i < j
Here, i
and j
are the indices ranging from [0, N)
.
Input:
N
ARR[0], ARR[1], ..., ARR[N-1]
Output:
Single integer indicating the total count of inversions in the array.
Example:
Input:
5
2 3 8 6 1
Output:
5
Explanation:
The inversions are: (2, 1), (3, 1), (8, 6), (8, 1), (6, 1).
Constraints:
1 ≤ N ≤ 105
1 ≤ ARR[i] ≤ 109
ARR[i]
denotes the array element at indexi
.
Note:
You are not required to print anything; it has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
