Given an integer array arr of n distinct integers, you have exactly two operations available, each counted as one step:
- Rotate: Move the first element to the end of the array. For example,
[a, b, c, d]becomes[b, c, d, a]. - Flip: Reverse the entire array. For example,
[a, b, c, d]becomes[d, c, b, a].
You may apply these operations in any order and any number of times. Return the minimum number of steps to sort arr in non-decreasing order, or -1 if it is not possible to reach the sorted order using these operations.
Constraints:
- 1 ≤
n≤ 8 ≤arr[i]≤
Example 1:
Input: arr = [3, 2, 1] Output: 1 Explanation: Applying Flip once transforms [3, 2, 1] into [1, 2, 3], which is sorted.
Example 2:
Input: arr = [2, 1, 4, 3] Output: 3
Example 3:
Input: arr = [2, 1, 3] Output: 2
