CF1861D Sorting By Multiplication
Description
You are given an array $ a $ of length $ n $ , consisting of positive integers.
You can perform the following operation on this array any number of times (possibly zero):
- choose three integers $ l $ , $ r $ and $ x $ such that $ 1 \le l \le r \le n $ , and multiply every $ a_i $ such that $ l \le i \le r $ by $ x $ .
Note that you can choose any integer as $ x $ , it doesn't have to be positive.
You have to calculate the minimum number of operations to make the array $ a $ sorted in strictly ascending order (i. e. the condition $ a_1 < a_2 < \dots < a_n $ must be satisfied).
Input Format
The first line contains a single integer $ t $ ( $ 1 \le t \le 10^4 $ ) — the number of test cases.
The first line of each test case contains one integer $ n $ ( $ 1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5 $ ) — the length of the array $ a $ .
The second line of each test case contains $ n $ integers $ a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n $ ( $ 1 \le a_i \le 10^9 $ ) — the array $ a $ .
Additional constraint on the input: the sum of $ n $ over all test cases does not exceed $ 2 \cdot 10^5 $ .
Output Format
For each test case, print one integer — the minimum number of operations required to make $ a $ sorted in strictly ascending order.
Explanation/Hint
In the first test case, we can perform the operations as follows:
- $ l = 2 $ , $ r = 4 $ , $ x = 3 $ ;
- $ l = 4 $ , $ r = 4 $ , $ x = 2 $ ;
- $ l = 5 $ , $ r = 5 $ , $ x = 10 $ .
After these operations, the array $ a $ becomes $ [1, 3, 6, 12, 20] $ .In the second test case, we can perform one operation as follows:
- $ l = 1 $ , $ r = 4 $ , $ x = -2 $ ;
- $ l = 6 $ , $ r = 6 $ , $ x = 1337 $ .
After these operations, the array $ a $ becomes $ [-10, -8, -6, -4, 5, 1337] $ .In the third test case, the array $ a $ is already sorted.
