Description
You are given a sequence of $N$ positive integers: $A=(A_1,A_2, \dots A_N)$. You can do the operation below zero or more times. At least how many operations are needed to make $A$ a palindrome?
- Choose a pair $(x,y)$ of positive integers, and replace every occurrence of $x$ in $A$ with $y$.
Here, we say $A$ is a palindrome if and only if $A_i=A_{N+1-i}$ holds for every $i$ ($1 \le i \le N$).
- Choose a pair $(x,y)$ of positive integers, and replace every occurrence of $x$ in $A$ with $y$.
Here, we say $A$ is a palindrome if and only if $A_i=A_{N+1-i}$ holds for every $i$ ($1 \le i \le N$).
Constraints
- All values in input are integers.
- $1 \le N \le 2 \times 10^5$
- $1 \le A_i \le 2 \times 10^5$
- $1 \le N \le 2 \times 10^5$
- $1 \le A_i \le 2 \times 10^5$
Sample 1 Input
8
1 5 3 2 5 2 3 1
Sample 1 Output
2
- Initially, we have A=(1,5,3,2,5,2,3,1).
- After replacing every occurrence of 3 in A with 2, we have A=(1,5,2,2,5,2,2,1).
- After replacing every occurrence of 2 in A with 5, we have A=(1,5,5,5,5,5,5,1).
Sample 2 Input
7
1 2 3 4 1 2 3
Sample 2 Output
1
Sample 3 Input
1
200000
Sample 3 Output
0
A may already be a palindrome in the beginning.
