Count Inversions in an Array | Brute and Optimal

Problem Link: bit.ly/3GJcuYj
Notes/C++/Java/Python codes: takeuforward.org/data-structu...
We have solved the problem, and we have gone from brute force and ended with the most optimal solution. Every approach's code has been written in the video itself. Also, we have covered the algorithm with intuition.

Best count inversion video on RUclips, your method of teaching is very best that it gets me understand very easily 🌟🌟🌟

[@_AASHISHSHAH]

this is the best playlist in world. thank you stiver for your effort.

[@SuvradipDasPhotographyOfficial]

The best count inversion video on RUclips.. Thanks a lot Raj.. stay blessed❤

[@Manishgupta200]

I'm trying this problem and solved it by myself by taking count as global variable.. But you taught us in a vary optimal way without taking count as a global variable. Really best optimal approach. Thankyou ❤

[@bishakhdutta8427]

whats the complexity of your solution?
can you share it?

Completed the playlist. This was the best recursion playlist I ever went through. Thanks a lot Striver.

Finally completed this recursion playlist and Thanks a lot striver for great explanation throughout and patiently drawing recursion tree. patience is the key to solve and teach anything . And you have it man and you are teaching that too. Thanks a lot again

UNDERSTOOD SIR ! GREAT EXPLAINATION

[@8bit_hero850]

Can we realistically solve this if it comes in an interview given we haven't solved it before? I mean how do can you get the intuition of merge sort from this problem? I really don't get it.

[@the_haryannvi_coder]

If u don't wanna use cnt in mergeSort function, you can do this:-
int mergeSort(vector &arr, int low, int high) {
if (low >= high) return 0;

int mid = (low + high) / 2 ;
int left = mergeSort(arr, low, mid); // left half
int right = mergeSort(arr, mid + 1, high); // right half
int m = merge(arr, low, mid, high); // merging sorted halves
return left + right + m;
}

Great video

[@AbjSir]

// Everytime while sorting you move an element to the left (assume nobody moves to right agar chote walo ko aana hoga to left me aa jayenge)
// if an element crosses another element while moving to the left for the purpose of sorting then it should increase the count of inversion

Global vs Local
In Global variables values updated dynamically but in local variables we need to pass updated values (manually) to subsequent functions

understood the solution . But how do i get the intution that it will solve in this way i.e using this approach 😕 in most of the cases i don't have idea about the optimal one how would I approach it

[@VaibhavSethF]

Hi Striver , is creating static variables in interview is a bad practice?

[@hetchaudhari]

Is it fine to pass variables by reference?Or should we avoid that too in the interviews?
