Mock CCC '20 Contest 1 S4 - Rotational Arrays
View as PDFAn array of
elements can be rotated to the right by taking the last element and moving it to the front. For example, rotating
to the right once results in
.
An array is considered rotational if it can be rotated some number of times to the right, where
, and result in the original array. For example, the array
is considered rotational.
One modification of an array consists of increasing or decreasing an element's value by . Given an array
, can you determine the minimum number of modifications needed in order to convert an array to a rotational array?
Input Specification
The first line will contain the integer
, the number of elements.
The second line will contain integers,
, the elements of the array.
Output Specification
Output the minimum number of modifications needed to convert to a rotational array.
Subtasks
For 3/15 of the points, .
For an additional 5/15 of the points, .
Sample Input
4
1 2 2 2
Sample Output
1
Explanation For Sample
We can increase the first element's value to , which transforms it into a rotational array. This is exactly one modification.
