Discussion of Problem 1252. Sorting the Tombstones

Admin! How Come! TEST4 N-1?
Posted by deLarry 26 Dec 2016 15:09
It says, that K is an amount of stones BETWEEN other stones. Why does Test4 answer equal n-1. I suppose it should be n-2, shouldn't it?

You should read the problem statement more clearly. Since K<N, if the array is sorted then K=N-1.
